10 years after its initial debut for the PS3, The Last of Us, now known as The Last of Us Part I, is finally coming to PC. And that couldn’t have happened at a better time with all the fuzz going on with its TV show adaptation.
Whether you think they cooked and delivered with all creative liberties, or that they just went too far from the original source, they got people talking about the franchise for weeks. That sets up for a possibly great PC release for the first game, and if you’re planning on grabbing it, here you’ll find the minimum requirements for running the game as smoothly as you can.

Both settings are pretty much the same with very few differences between them (such as Steam suggesting an RX 5700 XT instead of RX 5800 XT), so you should have no problem running the game if your setup is already looking similar to that. But aside from the unusual 16 RAM minimum and its large file size, the game doesn’t have such huge impediments for running.
The Last of Us Part I will be available for PS5 now, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) on March 28, 2023.
