Recall that at the start of sales, the port of The Last of Us Part I was criticized for long downloads, frequent crashes and poor optimization, and a few hours after the release the game’s rating on Steam dropped to 36% (“mostly negative ” Reviews).

It is worth noting that not only Naughty Dog was responsible for the development of the PC version of The Last of Us Part I, but also the Iron Galaxy studio, which helped transfer the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection to the PC.

The Last of Us Part I is a remake of the 2013 original The Last of Us. The game hit Steam and the Epic Games Store yesterday, March 28th, almost seven months after its debut on the PlayStation 5.
