As first major post-launch content update, Grounded will introduce a challenging difficulty setting and introduce permadeath mode. Players who believe that Survivor mode is not much of a brutal experience will appreciate Grounded.
If you choose to play smartly, The Last of Us 2 is not extremely tough and Grounded update will crank everything up to eleven. Crafting items will become scarce, enemies will be deadlier, HUD is removed and Listen Mode gets fully disabled.

After patching TLoU2 to version 1.05, players will get Grounded difficulty mode unlocked at start. The Last of Us never had a permadeath mode and now Naughty Dog challenges you to complete the entire run without dying even once.
Since there are no second chances, players can enable checkpoints within Permadeath mode on per-act basis or per-chapter basis. You can get a Platinum Trophy for The Last of Us 2 even if you fail to earn Trophies for Grounded and Permadeath.
