The Last Of Us Part 1 Now Verified On Steam Deck After Latest Patch
The Last of Us Part 1 is Steam Deck Verified after Naughty Dog and Iron Galaxy publish patch v1.1.0 for PC.
Naughty Dog revealed the game’s verified status in their announcement for the patch, and this can be confirmed independently on SteamDB.
The damage is done, as they say, as it’s been a little over two months since The Last of Us Part 1 PC was released. The fact that Naughty Dog was quick to issue an apology was an indication that they knew well beforehand that this port wasn’t ready for release.
Perhaps passive aggressively, Valve did not hesitate to indicate their displeasure when they rescinded its Steam Deck Verified status shortly after.
Now, we will assume that the choice to release in this condition was not from Naughty Dog, but somewhere up in Sony’s leadership. Right up until now we had been seeing great ports of games from PlayStation Studios, so this was just as surprising as it was disappointing.
I want to say that we should give Naughty Dog credit for fixing the game so quickly. But clearly, if they could get it done in this amount of time, Sony could have made the call to delay that release until the game was ready.
It really was a shortsighted decision on Sony’s part, as now gamers may not trust the company with their PC releases in the future. It remains to be seen if this turnaround was enough to regain that trust, but the Steam Reviews don’t seem to indicate it.
