The biggest announcement at the most recent Summer Game Fest event was the reveal that The Last of Us is getting a remake called The Last of Us Part 1. The Last of Us Part 1 is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5 on September 2, but a PC version is also in development. A specific release date has not been announced for the PC version of The Last of Us Part 1, but it may be sooner than expected.
It often takes years for Sony to release a PC version of its games, but that may not be the case for the PC version of The Last of Us Part 1. Naughty Dog developer Jonathan Benainous responded to a fan on Twitter who expressed hype for the PC version of the game, stating, "Glad to hear you're hyped man! PC version should come out a bit later, but very soon after the PS5 release!" This is still vague, but it seems to be an indication that fans won't be waiting years to play The Last of Us Part 1 on PC.
As previously mentioned, it sometimes takes years for Sony to release PC ports of its PlayStation exclusive games. In fact, PC players are still waiting on Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which was released for PS5 in January but still has yet to make its way to PC. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection's PC port is still expected to arrive at some point in 2022, but a specific date still has yet to be announced at the time of this writing. Benainous' comments seem to suggest that fans won't have to wait quite as long for Last of Us Part 1's PC port, though fans should keep their expectations in check.
The next Sony-published game to make the jump to PC will be Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered from Insomniac Games. The remastered version of the 2018 PS4 game, Spider-Man on PC will be similar to the PS5 version, but with some extra bells and whistles to take proper advantage of the PC platform. Spider-Man's PC features were detailed in a recent post, though fans will be able to try them out for themselves sooner rather than later, as the game is set to launch on August 12.
Whenever The Last of Us Part 1 comes to PC, it too should include some PC-exclusive features, though fans will have to wait to learn more about them. In the meantime, The Last of Us PS5 remake will first be available on PS5 when it launches in a little over a month's time.
The Last of Us Part 1 launches on September 2 for PS5 with a PC version also in development.
