The Last of Us Part I is a remake of the PlayStation 3 game from 2013. The original game and remake were developed by Naughty Dog and published by PlayStation PC. This is the first time the Last of Us series comes to PC, and is the second game developed by Naughty Dog to come to PC following Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection. The PC version improves upon the PlayStation 5 release in a multitude of ways compared to the PlayStation 5 release, including DLSS 3.1, FSR 2.2, ultrawide screen support and more.[1]
The PlayStation 5 version launched on September 2, 2022 and the PC port released on March 28, 2023. While the port was applauded for its extensive settings menu, the game launched to negative reception from consumers citing several issues like long shader compilation times, crashes, degraded performance and stability while compiling shaders in the background, mouse and camera jitter and the game being very CPU-limited.[3][4][5]
Several patches have been released post-launch, aiming at improving performance, improving stability during shader compilation process, fixing crashes when booting the game, significantly reducing shader compilation time and improved loading times.[6][7][5]

Issues unresolved
Crashes, poor performance and "Please wait" screens during gameplay
- People report a large amount of crashes every few minutes of gameplay and poor performance, especially when playing the game without letting the shader compilation process finish.[20]
- The game possibly also suffers from a memory leak, possibly causing crashes and "Please wait" screens over time when the game runs out of system RAM.[21][22][23]
| Wait at the game's main menu for shader compilation to finish[20] |
|---|
|
| Nvidia RTX 30 series GPUs: update to Nvidia GPU driver version 531.58 or higher[24] |
|---|
Very CPU-limited during gameplay
- While the game utilizes CPU-multithreading excellently, the game seems to max out most cores on especially mid-range hardware while background-loading data during gameplay. This then causes the game to become very CPU-limited. This is likely caused by the game streaming in and decompressing data at the same time during gameplay in a less CPU-friendly way. After some time when standing still, when the background-loading is done, performance will return to normal.[5]
Issues fixed
Font and button prompt issues
- Button prompts and text flickering or displaying an incorrect or broken character.[25]
| Right click on the game in Steam, select Properties>Controller, and select Disable Steam Input[26] |
|---|
Proton: "Out of date driver" message and limited VRAM on AMD hardware
Add WINEDLLOVERRIDES="amd_ags_x64.dll=b" %command% as a command line arguments[27][28]

- Own the base The Last of Us Part 1 version and that already includes access to the Left Behind prequel chapter. It is thus not Deluxe Edition-exclusive. The wording on the store pages is just a big confusing as for example "The Last of Us single-player story" is of course also standardly included, but also listed in the same way as Left Behind for the Deluxe Edition.
