I'd say that TLOU is less broadly "a western" than the particular setting of this part of the game/show leans into that. Though I would say the spare lawlessness of most American post-apocalyptic media finds Western tropes easy to appropriate.

What does it mean? Look out for Red Dead Redemption on premium streaming soon.

Incidentally RDR had a Zombie expansion.

Yeah people are equating Mandalorian and TLoU because both feature Pedro Pascal travelling while protecting a child but the former is far more western inspired than the latter.
