PlayStation’s The Last of Us Part 2 system requirements have been revealed for the game’s long-awaited PC port. After the horrid launch of the first game’s remake’s PC port, Naughty Dog and PlayStation have firmly claimed that the game will perform well not just on high-end PCs but also Valve’s nifty Steam Deck.
While the PS5 remake of the first game struggles on the handheld-that-could, PlayStation is confident that the remaster of the PS4 sequel on PC will perform quite well. With a swathe of graphical options that should allow the game to run perfectly fine on most handheld PCs.
Last of US Part 2 PC system requirements
With PlayStation’s PC port of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered has some very reasonable system requirements for a modern release. With the minimum requirements only asking for an AMD Ryzen 3 1300X and a GTX 1650, the game should run pretty damn well on the Steam Deck’s 800P screen.
Here are the Last of Us Part 2 system requirements:
| MINIMUN | RECCOMENDED | HIGH | VERY HIGH | |
| CPU | INTEL CORE I3-8100 AMD RYZEN 3 1300X |
INTEL CORE I5-8600 AMD RYZEN 3600 |
INTEL CORE I7-9700K AMD RYZEN 7 3700X |
INTEL CORE I7-11700 AMD RYZEN 7 5700X |
| GPU | NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1650 AMD RADEON RX 5500XT |
NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3060 AMD RADEON RX 5700 |
NVIDIA GEFORCE 3070 AMD RADEON RX 6800 |
NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4080 AMD RADEON RX 7900XT |
| RAM | 16GB | 16GB | 16GB | 32GB |
| OS | WINDOWS 10/11 | WINDOWS 10/11 | WINDOWS 10/11 | WINDOWS 10/11 |
| STORAGE | 150 GB SSD | 150 GB SSD | 150 GB SSD | 150 GB SSD |
PlayStation claims the new PC port will allow for “the best possible experience on hardware ranging from high-end PCs to handheld gaming devices”. With other AAA games like Assassin’s Creed Shadows also crafting support for Valve’s handheld, it’s clear that awesome device still has years of life left.
With the massive success of the Steam Deck causing Valve to invest more in “the future of hardware” at the company, a more powerful system is definitely in the works. While Valve won’t be releasing a tonne of hardware revisions as they’re still waiting for a massive generation leap, a true upgrade is in development at the company. Let’s just hope they can count to three with this project.
Right now, The Last of Us Part 2 is the last game in the series. While Naughty Dog has changed tact to its new franchise Intergalactic, there are still rumblings of a third game that will move away from Ellie to tell a brand-new story.
