The Last of Us PC falls short of Naughty Dog's quality expectations.

Naughty Dog has apologized to PC players for the technical issues in The Last of Us Part 1 and promised to address them with a hotfix and a larger patch. The game's PC port has been plagued with inconsistent frame rates, crashes, stuttering, long load times, and poor optimization, leading to a Mostly Negative rating on Steam. The studio encouraged players to use the latest graphics drivers and assured them that it is closely monitoring player reports to support future improvements and patches.
