Sony Interactive Entertainment recently shared a new trailer for the PC port of The Last of Us Part 1, revealing some new features as well as sharing the full details for the game’s system requirements, which look surprisingly beefy.
Even playing at the lowest preset, you need to have at least 16 GB of RAM and next to 100 GB of free space, which makes it one of the larger single-player games in recent times. More often than not, linear story-driven games tend to have a file size far below 100 GB. The Last of Us Part 1 Remake doesn’t feature a multiplayer section and is not an open-world experience similar to its sequel.
Moving over to the GPU, the game suggests a GTX 970 or 1050 Ti in Nvidia’s category, while the AMD equivalent is Radeon RX 470. With these graphical processors, you will be able to play the game in 720p resolution at 30 FPS.
However, if you are seeking a challenge for your cutting-edge PC, Naughty Dog’s upcoming port will require an RTX 4080 or an AMD RX 7900 XT for running the game at a constant 60 FPS in 4K resolution while every visual setting is maxed out. Below you can check out the requirements for different presets.
