Naughty Dog has confirmed The Last of Us Part 1 PC launch has been delayed by three weeks. Originally slated to hit the platform on March 3, the game will now be playable on March 28.

A PC port for The Last of Us Part 1 was rumoured well before Sony unveiled its PS5 version. It was confirmed shortly after and would be playable on March 3. It, like many other games announced recently, has now been delayed.

Naughty Dog's official Twitter handle says The Last of Us Part 1's launch date has been pushed back to March 28. The delay isn't as long as some of the others, but surprising, nonetheless, given the game is already out and about on the PlayStation 5.

Unlike the PlayStation 4 remaster, which essentially painted over the PlayStation 3 original, The Last of Us Part 1 brings forth a pretty significant improvement in visuals, and that is precisely why Naughty Dog wants the extra three weeks.

Furthermore, The Last of Us Part 1 will be the first of its franchise to hit PCs, and Sony/Naughty Dog will want its launch to be perfect. Unfortunately, its system requirements are still nowhere to be found on the Steam and Epic Games Store's pre-order page. They should ideally surface in the coming weeks, and one can only hope it doesn't demand an RTX 4080 and 32 GB RAM for 4K 60 FPS.
