The Last of Us Part 1 gets 25-day delay on PC

The Last of Us: Part 1 will arrive on PC a little later than expected, with Naughty Dog announcing a new 28th March release date to ensure the game arrives “in the best possible shape”.

The Last of Us Part 1 – Naughty Dog’s new-gen spruce-up of the acclaimed 2013 stealth survival horror – initially launched for PlayStation 5 last September, and the long-promised PC version was eventually confirmed to be arriving on 3rd March this year.

With a month to go until its originally planned launch date, however, Naughty Dog has confirmed a 25-day delay. “Let’s get right to it,” the studio wrote in a statement shared on Twitter. “We initially announced The Last of Us Part 1 PC release would be 3rd March, but we’ve decided to push its launch date out by just a few week; it will now be released on 28th March.”

“We at the studio have been completely blown away by the outpouring of love and support for The Last of Us these last few weeks,” it continued. “Hearing your love for the HBO adaptation, seeing your beautiful Photo Mode shots, and learning about how the world and characters our studio created nearly a decade ago continue to reach new and old fans alike floors us every day. We know a lot of you have been revisiting the story that started it all with The Last of Us Part 1 on PlayStation 5 console, and we realise many of you have been excited to jump in – some for the first time – when Part 1 hits PC.
