Yes, The Last of Us Part 1’s PC Port Is Broken for Everyone
The Last of Us Part 1’srecent launch is off to a rough start, as numerous players have reported performance issues with its wonky PC port. From stuttering camera movements to frequent crashes, there are plenty of errors to go around, giving more reason as to why it wasdelayedin the first place.
You can clearly see the repercussions of this buggy PC port from the “Mostly Negative” reviews on Steam, differing fromNaughty Dog’scounterpart, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which mostly had positive feedback. While exploring the review page for the Last of Us Part 1 on Steam, many have noted low FPS rates and horrendous optimization performances, making the game almost unbearable to play.
Reddit user IndependenceKey4332 also recommends not getting the game for the PC, where they indicate out-of-sync cinematics and long loading times.
Even those with “high-end” PCs have encountered multiple problems with this latest version, despite having both the minimum and recommended specs. It’s also intriguing to note that no review codes were sent out prior to its launch, indicating that Sony may have known about its issues beforehand and possibly rushed to get it out during the peak ofHBO’s The Last of Us.
