The Last of Us Part II Remastered arrives on PC in April 2025

[DragonSlayer101]

Something to look forward to: Naughty Dog revealed at The Game Awards 2024 that The Last of Us Part II Remastered will come to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on April 3, 2025. The game is already listed on both platforms with a "Coming Soon" banner and multiple pre-purchase offers, including an ammo capacity upgrade and a crafting training manual.

Publisher Sony and developer Naughty Dog have announced plans to release The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PC next year. The game originally launched on PlayStation 4 in 2020 before the Remastered version debuted on PS5 in January this year.

According to Naughty Dog's game director Mathew Gallant, the PC version of the game offers not only the same captivating storyline as the PS5 version, but also "rich combat mechanics (and) extensive behind-the-scenes commentary." Gallant added that the developers have been working hard to ensure high performance and robust features for PC gamers.

The system requirements for the PC version are yet to be announced, but most gamers are hoping that it will not require ultra-high-end rigs unlike the original The Last of Us title, which didn't play nice with mid-tier PCs.

The Last of Us Part 2 has long been rumored to be the next Sony game to get a PC release. Earlier this year, reliable leaker Billbil-kun of Dealabs revealed that the developers had finished porting the game for Windows. The tipster also correctly speculated that Naughty Dog and Sony might not launch the game on PC this year to tie its release with the second season of HBO's The Last of Us TV adaptation in Q2, 2025.

The PC version of The Last of Us Part II is expected to offer almost everything that the PS5 version has, including guitar free play and developer commentary on the Lost Levels. The game will also feature the roguelike survival mode No Return, which allows players to choose their own path and test their skills across runs of randomized encounters.

On a sour note, gamers will require a PSN account to play The Last of Us Part II on PC, just like all other recent first-party PC ports from Sony. The problem started with Helldivers 2, but the company cancelled the mandatory sign-in requirement for that game following a player uproar.

Since then, however, other popular titles, such as God of War Ragnarok, Until Dawn remake, and Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut released on PC with the PSN sign-in requirement, and Sony has refused to budge despite massive protests from gamers.

Well done Sony, keep doing what you are doing.
Every game you are F'ing up is available on a torrent site, without your stupid neediness.


I bought Zero Dawn's upgrade.
I was able to get into the game and run around for about 20 minutes to check how the graphic's had improved.
When I went to try and play a few hours later, I couldn't get back into the game.
So I asked for a refund.
If I hadn't owned the Complete Edition already I would of probably just used a torrent site.

I don't buy single player games that requires an online account to play. It's a shame when the pirated copy offers a better user experience than the paid version. I have to REALLY like the game to buy it. BG3, SM2, elder ring, 2077

Please pirate as much as you can. Maybe then Sony will get smarter again and stop releasing games on a PC and move the effort to deliver better titles on their console. Instead of new titles they are trying to accommodate pc with old remakes, and I rather play pc games on my pc and console games on a console, if they actually create something worthwhile.

We waited for this monumental moment for decades. The wait is over.

I haven't pirated any Sony game.
I bought both Horizons and GoW 2018. I wanted The Last of Us, but it is overpriced for an old game.
Although GoW was a waste of money, I wish I had pirated it 1st, to try it out. Original was better.

The one difference between you and me, I would play any game on a PC. Whether a console port(as long as it was done right) or a game that came out on PC only.
All it has to do is keep me entertained.

 

[Ohnooze]

Unfortunately, I hate this game.
I played it on PS5 and couldn't bring myself to play more than a handful of hours. The wokeism just killed it for me. Was way too in your face. Though I thought the first was overrated as hell I did manage to finish it.

ROFL someone is salty.

Sony releases on PC because, this may surprise you, the PC gaming industry is larger then the xbox and playstation combined. Even with piracy, releasing on PC is an easy way to double the sales of a successful console exclusive. Hundreds of millions of $$$ is worth a lot more then being an "exclusive".

Making quality games doesnt require developing solely for console, especially today. If sony stopped publishing on PC, you'd just see the same gray slop, just console exclusive slop. Bad studios, bad management, and prioritizing propaganda over solid characters and story will doom any studio, regardless of medium. Sony has spent more time censoring games and shoveling out remakes while closing studios down, and the effects are obvious.

Always online DRM and requiring logins for single player games are the 7th sin of the modern age, and should be abolished.

 

[toooooot]

I am only interested about technical aspect of the game.
Is it gonna look better than PS with max settings on 4090?
Despite completely ridiculous story and atrocious writing
It is a stunningly beautiful game. If they've done it right
with this port, is will be a great bench game.

Have you seen the trailer to Naughty Dogs next franchise? This one has killed the brand entirely for me:

FYI, when it first came out, the comment section was open… now they’ve been closed…

So fragile.

 

[Ohnooze]

So fragile.

Nothing fragile about it. It was immersion breaking and stupid.

 

[Mr Majestyk]

I will never create an account for any Sony game, so even if this was a give away in a STEAM sale one-day, I'll still ignore it.

 

[axiomatic13]

Oh, but you do. You get very angry when people identify social injustice and discrimination.

 

[Eldrach]

Meh, played it through years ago. One thing is that I didn't like where they took the story - the second thing was that I didn't like the last chapter. It ended on a good note, then they just had to ruin it by adding a last chapter that didn't bring anything good at all to the story.

Looks pretty interesting to me, what am I missing, maybe the lead is a lesbian? Is that a fact?

Pretty cool shes playing CD’s in a space ship if you ask me

 

[Ohnooze]

Oh, but you do. You get very angry when people identify social injustice and discrimination.

So you're going to tell me if I'm angry or not lol? No, I'm sorry but that's not the case.
And no one is identifying social injustice. It's generally made up injustice from people obsessed with it who see it in everything. People liked you actually...

Keep playing on your console, we like to play on computers also, I don't like consoles when it comes to FP games, the movement/physics of the character on consoles is like the it has a handicap, or a leg brace, or shot in the leg since the game began.

 

[GoldenGoat]

Why does Sony want to link accounts? What do they get out of it? It seems like they are willing to lose sales over this, but why?

 

[passingposeidon]

made up injustice

Good one.

 

[Ohnooze]

Good one.

Not to say that injustice doesn't exist. It's just that people obsessed with it see it in everything.

My man, you use woke in the pejorative? Own it.

 

[Ohnooze]

My man, you use woke in the pejorative? Own it.

Yes. I don't think I claimed otherwise. That said I'm not angry. I just have a distaste for virtue signaling and people looking for an opportunity to accuse someone else of bigotry just to prop themselves up as superior.
