The Last of Us Part 1 on PC is delayed thanks to the HBO show
The Last of Us HBO show’s popularity prompted Naughty Dog to delay The Last of Us on PC by a few weeks to give it a bit more polish. The Last of Us Part 1 on PC will now release on March 28, 2023, instead of March 3, 2023. Naughty Dog made the announcement on Twitter, but didn’t say what changes the game actually needed that could be fixed in just three weeks.
“We at the studio have been completely blown away by the outpouring of love and support for The Last of Us these last few weeks,” Naughty Dog said in the announcement. “Hearing your love for the HBO adaptation, seeing your beautiful Photo Mode shots, and learning about how the world and characters our studio created nearly a decade ago continue to reach new and old fans alike floors us every day.”
The studio continued by saying that they know many people plan to revisit the game on PC or play it for the first time, and they want to make sure it’s as good as it can be.
“The additional few weeks will allow us to ensure this version of The Last of Us lives up to your, and our, standards,” Naughty Dog said.
Which sounds very much like we’d have gotten a buggier, messier version of the game if so many people hadn’t taken notice of the TV adaptation. So, thanks HBO?
Whatever the case, when it does launch on PC, The Last of Us Part 1 will be Steam Deck compatible, so you can take your apocalypse with you on the go.
