With Sony open to porting some of its biggest PlayStation exclusives to PC, it’s only natural for people to wonder if The Last of Us Part 2 will make the jump thanks to the new PlayStation 5 remaster.

The likes of Horizon Zero Dawn, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and even The Last of Us Part 1 are all present and accounted for on PC. So, it only makes sense for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered to have a PC release too… right?

Is The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered coming to PC?

At the time of writing, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered does not have a PC release date. It was only ever announced for the PS5, with it scheduled to launch on Jan. 19, 2024.

The original PlayStation Blog announcement from Sony and Naughty Dog makes no mention of a PC version being on the cards. However, while it doesn’t confirm one, it doesn’t necessarily rule one out either. So, unless either company says otherwise, a PC port isn’t impossible.

Will The Last of Us Part 2 come to PC at a later date?

There is a strong chance the game may very well be coming to the PC at some point, though if it does, it may not happen until a little further down the line. The original The Last of Us Part 2 wasn’t released on PC, though the remaster of the first game—The Last of Us Part 1—did come out on PC back in March 2023, six months after its initial launch on PS5.

The PC version of The Last of Us Part 1 was somewhat controversial upon release, as it was littered with bugs and glitches. There were Twitter threads and YouTube compilations of the funniest bugs and errors as far as the eye could see. Because of this, it’s likely if Naughty Dog does choose to go down the PC route for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, the company will take its time with it to ensure all the kinks are worked out to avoid the issues that plagued The Last of Us Part 1‘s PC release.

We will keep you updated on any new information we get on the possibility of a PC release for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered.
