After its successful debut on the PlayStation 5 console last year, The Last of Us Part I is coming to PC March 28! This is the first release of The Last of Us on PC via steam and Epic Games Storewe can’t wait for new players to come back to experience Joel and Ellie’s emotional journey on a new platform.
Whether or not you’re coming to The Last of Us Part I on PC for the first time, maybe you enjoyed The Last of Us on HBO and want to dive into the game? – or if you’re a repeat gamer who wants to experience this unforgettable adventure again, we hope the PC version will be an exciting way to play for everyone.
We have previously confirmed The PC iteration of Part I will bring the same core content as its PS5 counterpart, but with the PC release looming, we’ve snuck in a few scary Clickers to give more insight into what players can expect.
Regardless of your previous experience with The Last of Us Part I, its PC release brings with it a host of PC features to bring Joel and Ellie’s intense and memorable journey to life. This version of The Last of Us Part I is optimized for PC with PC-focused quality of life enhancements. Part I will include AMD FSR 2.2 support, Nvidia DLSS Super Resolution* support, VSync options and framerate capping, as well as a host of features designed specifically for PC, including adjustable texture quality, shadows, reflections, ambient dimming, and more.
Thanks to the expertise of Joel and Ellie, PC gamers can fully immerse themselves in a beautiful yet immersive environment with stunning detail and true 4K resolution**. From the gritty, oppressive streets of Boston’s QZ to the overgrown and abandoned buildings of Bills Town and more, take a beautiful journey across the United States of America with ultrawide monitor support for both 21:9 and 32:9 super ultrawide aspect ratios.
Experience all these locations by sneaking through abandoned houses and towns (and scavenging their crates and cupboards for supplies) or engage in intense, immersive action with 3D audio to better hear the rustling of leaves, the crack of glass or the footsteps of enemies that they are trying to ambush you***.
The Last of Us Part I for PC supports the DualSense controller via a wired connection, so players can feel the impact of battle, the rumble of a tank rolling by, and more with haptic feedback and dynamic triggers. With support for the DualShock 4 controller, a wide range of other gamepads, keyboards and mice, players can customize their gaming style to suit their preferences. The PC edition features a number of new control customization options, including full control remapping, primary and secondary bindings for keyboard and mouse control, an adaptive mode that allows players to mix keyboard and controller input, and more.
