The Last of Us Part 1 coming to PC should be a cause for celebration, but so far players are reporting poor performance as the negative Steam reviews roll in.
The Last of Us Part 1 launch on PC should have been a slam dunk for Sony. Having already released the game on PS5 several months back, and with people now more hyped than ever for the IP following the success of the HBO TV show, all the game needed to do was release and, well, work correctly. Unfortunately, that’s not been the case so far, with PC players who have purchased the game reporting various technical issues.
One of several negative reviews for the game on Steam cites “terrible optimisation”, taking a shot at how much CPU and VRAM the game takes up when simply trying to run. Another user, meanwhile, left a poor review saying that they’ve been suffering from crashes “every 20 minutes” when trying to play, despite the fact that the “game looks great”. One user review that’s received a lot of upvotes claims that the game has crashed no less than 14 times within a single play session.
