As announced at The Game Awards 2024, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will make its PC debut on April 3, 2025, at which point it will be released on both Steam and the Epic Games Store. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PC will feature all the enhancements that the PS5 version brings to the table, which means improved graphics, behind-the-scenes commentary, and the new roguelike mode No Return. The PC port was made in collaboration with Iron Galaxy Studios and Nixxes Software, which has handled many of the PlayStation to PC ports over the years.

When is The Last of Us 2 Coming to PC?

Of course, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered PC port will also include some PC-specific features. What exactly those PC-exclusive features will be has yet to be announced, but looking at past PlayStation PC ports, we can make an educated guess. For example, it’s likely that The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PC will have some additional graphics options that aren’t available on the PS5 version.

In any case, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered isn’t the only thing franchise fans have to look forward to in 2025. It’s also been confirmed that The Last of Us Season 2 is coming to HBO next year.
