The Last of Us Part II Remastered gets Sony’s PC ports back on track, with fine performance and no PSN requirement
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Whatever peace treaty that allowed erstwhile PS4/PS5 exclusives to slink over to PC has, generally, been a fruitful one. I only say generally because the porting process has seen the occasional whoopsiedoodle, from the face-warpingly sorry state of The Last of Us Part I’s initial release to the more recent intrusion of mandatory PSN sign-in requirements.
Happily, The Last of Us Part II Remastered gets off to a much better start. Tech-wise, anyway: the PC version, out today, performs smoothly and is nowhere near as buggy or crashy as Part I was at launch. And while PSN account syncing is still here, it’s fully optional, dodging the territorial block-outs and Steam Deck compatability problems that Sony’s other recent ports were yoked to.
