Naughty Dog’s once-exclusive PlayStation title, The Last of Us 1, is heading to the PC as of March 28, 2023, and now that a release date has been confirmed, the PC specs and a few other things are as well.
That said, most who are looking to play this port are definitely going to need to ensure that their PC is up to the task. One thing I have to point out is that this is the first PC game to require an SSD for its lowest PC requirement setting. If you don’t have an SSD, you’re likely going to want to skip this; the SSD is required for a reason.
The Last of Us 1 PC port includes a photo mode, ultrawide monitor support, 3D audio, and the Left Behind DLC chapter.
While not mentioned, I’m assuming that the game will also include DualSense controller support that will feature haptic feedback, as long as the controller is plugged in, just like the Returnal PC port did.
AMD FSR 2.2 support, Nvidia DLSS Super Resolution support, VSync and frame rate cap options, and a host of features designed specifically for PC, including adjustable Texture Quality, Shadows, Reflections, and Ambient Occlusion, are also included. If you’re PC is capable of handling it, this game should look amazing.
