The Last of Us Part I gets system requirements – Geforce RTX 4080 for Ultra

Already in the summer of 2013, The Last of Us was launched for Playstation 3 and became a smash hit. The game has since been refreshed for Playstation 4 and Playstation 5, and recently became a TV series on the streaming service HBO. Soon it will be time for the next adoption and then in the form of a long-awaited launch for PC.

Before the launch publishes Naughty Dog system requirements for the game, which in the new version goes by the name The Last of Us Part I. For the basic level 30 frames per second (FPS) in 1280 × 720 pixels with low settings, either an AMD Radeon RX 470, Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 or GTX 1050 Ti with 4 GB graphics memory. This must then be paired with at least a quad-core processor model older and 16 GB of primary memory.

At the other end of the spectrum, more modern devices are specified, which can run the game at the resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels (4K UHD), 60 FPS and the setting level Ultra. On the graphics card side, Nvidia’s today’s second most powerful Geforce RTX 4080 or AMD’s flagship Radeon RX 7900 XT apply, and then the latter must also be paired with the upscaling technology Fidelity FX Super Resolution (FSR) in Quality mode. In addition, the level on the processor side is turned up to AMD Ryzen 9 5900X or Intel Core i5-12600K and the amount of primary memory takes the step to 32 GB.

As usual for PCs, there are more fine-grained setting options on the graphics side than on a game console, where two intermediate levels in 1080p and 1440p can be operated with mid- and performance-class graphics cards with a couple of generations behind them. In addition to this, Naughty Dog highlights support for FSR as well as Nvidia DLSS Super Resolution. Official support also exists for the increasingly common ultra-wide screens with aspect ratios such as 21:9 and 32:9.

Further on the technology side, there is official support for game controllers Dualshock 4 from Playstation 4 and also the latest Dualsense for Playstation 5, the latter of which with support for features such as haptic feedback and dynamic triggers. The blog post highlights what is described as full control that map mouse, keyboard and game controller settings as needed, for example to enable a game style where keyboard and game controllers are used at the same time.

The Last of Us Part I for PC launches on March 28 at a suggested retail price of €59.99 and will be available on Steam and Epic Games Store. The price includes the DLC Left Behind, where the player gets to follow one of the main characters before the events of The Last of Us.
