The Last Of Us Part 2 Remastered Is Coming To PC, It's Claimed

thegamer.com:

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will reportedly get a PC port soon, which will be announced next month. This is according to Twitter user Silknigth, who recently leaked the announcement of Ghost of Tsushima's own PC port ahead of time.

While their latest claim that The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will launch on PC is far from confirmed, Silknigth has a good track record, also leaking the day that Xbox's ports to PlayStation and Switch were announced. According to Silknigth, this latest PC port will be unveiled next month, not long after the remaster launched on PS5.

Silknigth doesn't give us a specific timeframe for when it will launch but does suggest in a reply that it could be with us before the second season of The Last of Us on HBO. This is filming now and is set to premiere in 2025, so the game may come to PC at some point this year.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered only launched on January 19 of this year, and is a re-release of the original Part 2, which hit PS4 in 2020. It would be the first time that Part 2 has been made available on PC at all, as right now, the only game in the series that you can get on the platform is the 2022 remake of the first game, The Last of Us Part 1.

Typically, remasters and remakes of PS5 exclusives will be the first time that they become playable on PC. We saw this with Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered port, although this admittedly came almost two years after it hit PS5. Final Fantasy 7 Remake similarly hit PC after PS5 users got an upgrade, thankfully just a few months later instead of a couple of years. We also saw this with The Last of Us Part 1, although this PC port was full of performance issues, something Naughty Dog and Sony would want to avoid again.

We'll have to wait and see if this late port gets officially announced next month, but it would make a lot of sense. The upcoming second season of The Last of Us is going to cover the events of the second game, so it would help to have a PC port of the source material.
