With The Last of Us Part 1 releasing on PC later this month, Naughty Dog have now revealed some exciting new features coming to the platform.
With The Last of Us fresh on everybody’s minds since the success of the HBO adaptation, it seems like the perfect time for the award-winning game to finally come to PC. Despite originally being a PlayStation exclusive, its success sees it coming to Steam and Epic Game Store as of March 28.
The Last of Us Part 1 PC Features
This news comes after Sony and Naughty Dog announced The Last of Us 1 would be coming with “thrilling game modes and PC-specific features for players to enjoy!” Announced on Twitter, this news was also accompanied with a new trailer featuring the various modes.
So let’s take a look at what features players can expect.
Unlocked Frame Rate & FSR Support
For those who will be running the game on a high-end setup, you will be able to experience the game with an unlocked frame rate. However, for those who play on the lower end, there will be support for AMD FSR 2 and Nvidia DLSS. This technology can help with image quality and boosting frame rates.
Speedrun Mode
Pretty self-explanatory but The Last of Us Part 1 for PC will offer a speedrunning mode. This will test just how quickly you can complete the game. If you’re feeling up for a challenge, the current high score to beat was set by AnthonyCaliber. The gamer managed to complete the story in under three hours.
Permadeath Mode
If you’re feeling a lot braver than I ever would, you can attempt to beat the game on permadeath mode. This means that any wrong move will result in your death and send you back to the beginning again.
In the PlayStation version of The Last of Us, you could customise this mode to allow you to go back to certain checkpoints and chapters rather than start from the very beginning.
