The Last of Us: Part 1 PC vs PS5 vs Steam Deck Performance Review

46 Comments

1. Another signal pc gaming it heading towards a bit of a dark period, oh well

2. Game runs really great on 6800xt in 4k/max fsr2 quality. Finished the game and DLC without single Crash and stuttering and with average 70fps. Only people whos crying about bad pc port are nvidia users with low Vram cards.

3. one of the laziest piss poor pc ports ive experienced to date. Its INSANE how much computational power this game requires and it looks worse than the ps5 versions in almost every metric. Lighting shafts, shadows, and ssr appear much worse on pc ultra settings than the ps5 version aside from pure pixel density.

   Shame on Sony and Naughty Dog!

4. To all of you that said "PlayStation does better job making PC ports rather AAA one's" you're wrong

5. The LGBT OF US 😂

6. I'm just gonna get this game on ps5

7. Bottom line not everyone can enjoy the best on the PC whereas on PS5 you can enjoy fully and cheaper

8. no test for pc

9. 😢

10. Too many angry nerds just buy a PlayStation or a pirate version on pc

11. Took you long enough

12. Obvious Conclusion: best to play it on PS5.

13. Well in other words don't buy because PS3 emulation is about impossible. Would have been nice if they rebuilt the game from the ground up but yes it's a lot to ask for on a game that came from PS3 era. Hopefully it will get better.

14. PC optimisation is garbage 😢

15. PS5 winner

16. Very thorough analysis, thanks for the hard work NX_G! As the consoles are so solid now, it makes high end PCs really look incredibly inefficient(economically, architecturally, and even just power draw). This is just one game, but we are seeing a trend of PC releases requiring a substantial amount of resources just to match the PlayStation 5. It seems like the barrier to entry (for PC gaming) is higher than ever before, when using consoles as a baseline. Yes, it’s still the place where you can get the highest resolutions, frame rates, and graphic settings…but is it worth it?

17. this needs a remaster on pc

18. PS5 is the way.

19. Ironically for Americans, everyone is still suffering from an outdated 1950 segeration infrastructure. This has been an ongoing issue for decades now. PC "enthusiast" need to move past motherboards and cable, and finally embrace soldering and upgradable SOC's. No more seperate and un-equal memory pools.

20. Xbox – 0 fps. (The game is not available for Xbox)

21. Should have gone for the ps4 remaster for the steam deck. Would run and look fine

22. Can't wait to play this on PS6

23. Naughty Dog should be ashamed.

24. It's best running on PS5 better than $3000 PC

25. Last of bugs

26. Why is everyone saying this game was built for the PS3? This game is a complete remake in a new engine made for the PS5…

27. This is awesome and thank you for the information but shouldn't we have waited until the patches to make the game runs smoothly? 🤔

28. It's ridiculous how at 1080p on medium settings, The Last of Us nearly reaches 8gb of vram, while RE4 at 1080p on high settings with raytracing goes just a little over 5gb of vram.

29. My 7900xt PC is ready. Just waiting for it to get more patches for stability.

30. I've never been a fan of remakes. Playing the game once is enough. If you play it more then you simply have no life. Move on

31. I’m surprised to even see ign comparing the steam deck … it’s finally getting recognition!

32. Anyone know what 16 gibs of RAM is?

33. Most overrated game ever made

34. Just buy a PS5 and enjoy the game omg 🤦🏻‍♂️

35. This entire review is so biased and I’m not sure why ign is defending this? Like what do they stand to gain? Df did their analysis and said this game is a travesty graphically speaking. Even some ultra settings look worse than the ps5 on a 4090.

    There is no reason a 2070 super shouldn’t be able to at least approach the ps5 fidelity. But the medium settings look like something from 2010.

36. So how much you gave it? 3/10

37. Blah blah blah. You shouldn't need a history lesson on Sony hardware and game development to play a game.
    The greed is unjustifiable, they are charging AAA prices for an unfinished product that was clearly poorly scoped.

    You're rambling excuses when really they should have provided an auto configuration system that analysed what its running on and adjusted settings automatically.
    It's not like nVidia cards are a niche product that are only found on Arch Linux systems. They knew these issues were rampant but launched anyway.

38. this was really drawn out performance review compared to digital foundry

39. the loading screens every 3 minutes make this game unplayable

40. For me is better to play it on rpcs3 XDD

41. I'll just watch the show again, what a mess

42. More like excuses

43. Why even bother comparing the jet engine steam deck in here 😂

44. no your pcs are not absolute. this is a completely disastrous port made by the most incompetent studios on earth.

45. 95c? junction?

46. RX 5700 XT + R5 3600 4.3 GHz:
    1080p60 Ultra, FSR2 Quality, Textures High (Effect Textures Medium).

    60 fps for 99% of the game.
