The PC version of The Last of Us Part 1 has recently received its Update 1.1.5, which improves the game’s performance and has some AMD-specific enhancements. Despite a rocky launch on PC, The Last of Us Part 1 is a widely popular title, and it’s always great to see the developers giving it support years after the original release.

Developed by Naughty Dog and released for the PlayStation 3 in 2013, The Last of Us is often hailed among Sony’s best games. In 2020, the game received a sequel, which was also very successful. Then, in 2022, a remake called The Last of Us Part 1 was released for the PS5, including enhanced gameplay, better graphics, and enhanced accessibility options. In 2023, the remake was also released on PC, marking the first time the series appeared on the popular platform.

Now, the PC version of The Last of Us Part 1 has received the new Update 1.1.5. The patch makes various performance optimizations to the game, and it also fixes multiple crashes, improving the overall stability of the title. Specifically, this version also improved The Last of Us Part 1 on devices that use AMD Radeon GPUs, offering support for FSR 4. Apart from that, the update addressed an issue where distorted or degraded audio could be heard in certain areas when playing on the Steam Deck.

It’s nice to see Sony continuing to work on The Last of Us Part 1 for PC after so many years, especially considering how problematic the port was when the title launched. Back in 2023, The Last of Us received many negative reviews on Steam, as gamers were disappointed with performance issues, which have been fixed since then.

With the release of The Last of Us’ TV series, The Last of Us games have been very popular recently. According to data shared earlier this year, both Part 1 and Part 2 received major sales boosts on Amazon, likely due to the recent conclusion of the second season of HBO’s show.

At the moment, it has not been confirmed if Naughty Dog is working on a third entry for the franchise, but there’s already speculation about that. For instance, some rumors claim that The Last of Us Part 3 has already begun casting, and the title will follow new characters. In any case, it’s still early, so it’s best to take these rumors with a grain of salt, as there’s no guarantee about when the game will come out or what story it’ll have.
