Hey, what's a PlayStation Studios game without a delay? Originally set to debut on PC from the 3rd March, The Last of Us: Part I will now land just over three weeks later, on the 28th March. According to Naughty Dog, this should ensure that the port "lives up to your, and our, standards".
The developer also says that it'll share more details on the PC version "soon". We imagine that technical specs and potential PC-only features will be outlined just ahead of launch.
It's fair to assume that this will actually be quite an important release for Sony and Naughty Dog. With The Last of Us (the TV series) being such a huge hit, there's obviously been increased demand for the games, and Part I is bound to get extra attention as it drops on a new platform. It makes sense that the studio would want get the initial launch right.
Will you be picking up The Last of Us: Part I on PC? Wait it out in the comments section below.

They're going to remake Part II, aren't they
Removed - unconstructive
Sony is on fire on PC.
Not only are the high player ratings on Steam, but first Nvidia used their games to promote the RTX4000 launch on stage and now Valve is using Spider-Man to promote the Steam Deck right on the home screen of Steam.
TLOU is the perfect game to keep the momentum going.
The best thing about Sonys PC ports is that you finally can play those games on a handheld (Steam Deck) since sadly Sony chose to ignore their own last handheld
Delayed so the tv series can finish ??
Ill be playing this again on my 4080 . Should be great with a un capped frame rate and native 4K.
@theMEGAniggle Well,not quite yet. They have to follow the pattern of last of us.Which was last of us,then last of us remastered,then last of us part 1. So part 2 will be the existing last of us part 2,then in the future we will get last of us part 2 remastered, then wait for it ........ last of us part2/part 2 remake.
As happy as I am that more people will get to play (1 of) my favorite game(s), I'm pretty sure that this is why Sony bought Nixxes for PC porting work. If I were Jimbo Rhino, I wouldn't have my best PLAYSTATION studio work on port jobs.
It’s fine, ND. Just bring me a kickass PC port. What’s another few weeks when you have hold off on playing TLoU for years.
@hulkie Ha! In all seriousness though it would make sense for them to do it (only for PC users).
There better be no shader compilation stutter, or else digital foundry is going to tear Sony a new. Something I probably can’t put on these fora.
Remake with Joel lives , Ellie is abducted yep thats the remake I want. 80s action movie style can't beat it , stuff these days meh lol
3 week delay is nothing. Take all the time you need to polish up and ensure that it's a good port.
@palmab Why? Wouldn't it be better to release while the TV series is gaining momentum?
@hulkie @theMEGAniggle @Notoriousmakavel In all seriousness though yes, I would be surprised if we didn't get a native PS5 release whenever they drop Part II onto PC.
Fingers crossed that is happening either this year or early/summer 2024.
@KidBoruto yupp! The sooner they release it the better. And I guess that's why they didn't release Part II on PS5, because they wanted to get Part I out there, then the HBO show, then probably release Factions then Part II Re-release.
Although at this point I'm expecting the re-release to come out before Factions
@theMEGAniggle For sure they will try and release Part 2 before Season 2 airs.
So maybe a Fall 2023 release? Then Season 2 airing in 2024.
Either that or Part 2 in 2024 and Season 2 in 2025, if they want Factions to drop first.
@KidBoruto yeah I see season 2 dropping 2024 if filming starts soon, realistically I think Factions cannot drop 2025. That's just way too long in the oven. Has to be 2024 for me.
Part II re-release if t ever happens should hopefully be next year too. I know they can drop it at anytime but it just wouldn't make sense to actually spend a lot of time on it and remake certain assets, as it is stellar even now. Just touch it up for current gen, make most of SSD stuff, Dualsense and slap it on PC. Think this means 2024 might be a very Last of Us year.
I know none of this will probably happen but that's how I see it
@theMEGAniggle I just find it crazy they would drop so much TLOU content in 2024, but I suppose anything's possible.
Also agreed regarding a PS5 version, Part II doesn't need the remake treatment. A remastered version would be more than enough.
Similar to what Sony did with both Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima.
@KidBoruto agreed. It's a lot but I suppose that's why they may not want to go forward with a TLOU 3. Especially if that's their next game release.
Yeah a director's cut with some nice additional content would be nice. Maybe bundle it with the Factions game 🧐
Might be onto something there !
@theMEGAniggle I honestly don't see us getting a TLOU 3 for a long while, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
Factions bundle would be neat, as long as players could still play it separately. I'm only interested in Part II myself though.
Still haven't played it yet, have already been spoiled about a certain character dying unfortunately (my own fault for reading comments on The Last of Us articles).
@KidBoruto for me Part II has to go down as probably the most technically outstanding game in terms of the gameplay, audio, presentation and how it all marries together. That is why I am firmly awaiting Factions
When you play Part II you'll love it I think
@theMEGAniggle Thanks! I'm sure I will enjoy Part II, despite already knowing someone dies.
As for Factions, I just dislike multiplayer in general. Always been this way, I prefer playing offline by myself.
@KidBoruto yeah that did hit hard for me when I read it in a stupid comment on twitter almost 6 months before the game was even out.
I know what you mean, SP games first and foremost always my bro!
@theMEGAniggle Of all the times I wish I could erase some memories haha...that would definitely be one of them.
I've noticed a decent amount of Push Square users tends to be more single player focused, at least the vocal ones anyways.
@KidBoruto yeah, but I feel like that does not reflect the real world gaming landscape at all 😂
@theMEGAniggle Sadly no LOL. We are definitely a niche community for sure. I like it better that way though.
@KidBoruto yeah for sure, close knit community over here
