The Last of Us History
The first TLOU game has had several releases. The original game was released on PS3 in 2013 and was remastered for PS4 a year later. Naughty Dog, the developer of the original game, decided to remake the title from the ground up for both PS5 and PC. The former was released last year in September and the latter will launch tomorrow. The PC version will bring the successful game to a new audience and introduce them to a post-apocalyptic world filled with danger, adventure, and emotion.
Critical Reception
The original game is considered one of the best games of all time and for good reason. It received numerous awards, including Game of the Year from multiple publications like GDC and BAFTA. The much-anticipated sequel, The Last of Us Part II, also received critical acclaim and is currently the second most-awarded game in history, Elden Ring being the first.
Future PC Ports
Details about future PC ports from Sony are scarce. Previous leaks suggested that Horizon Forbidden West, Demon's Souls, and Gran Turismo 7 could make their way to Microsoft Windows. However, there hasn’t been an official announcement as of writing.
