Anticipation is building around the potential The Last of Us Part 2 PC release date. Known as one of the PS4’s most celebrated games, The Last of Us Part 2 captivates players with its stunning visuals and gripping story, further expanding on the series’ post-apocalyptic world and characters.
If you’ve been immersed in the original game, or if you’re eager to explore it before delving into the TV show’s second season, the possibility of The Last of Us Part 2 PC release date may pique your interest.
Historically, the likelihood of a The Last of Us Part 2 PC release date would have seemed improbable, as exclusives have traditionally remained within the PlayStation ecosystem for most of their lifespan. However, as PlayStation moves forward, there’s increasing hope for more PC releases, especially considering Sony’s recent trend of bringing its exclusives to the PC platform.
The Last of Us Part 2 PC Release Date
The Last of Us Part 2 was released for the PlayStation 5 on the 19th January 2024, and it was revealed at The Game Awards 2024 that it will release for the PC on 3rd April, 2025.

The original title’s remake has been available on PC since March 2023, which meant that there was always hope for the sequel to be released on PC.
Sony hasn’t revealed a set schedule for its PC releases and it generally announces ports relatively close to their launch.
According to recent credible leaks, the PC version of The Last of Us Part 2 has been in development for the last few years. It’s said that development has been completed since November 2021, so if this is true it’s been ready for release but Sony was waiting due to a policy of not releasing PC ports until it’s been on the PS5 for at least two years.
In an interview from May 2023 with Famitsu, translated by ResetEra, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan suggested that, while PC ports remain part of the company’s strategy, they may continue to launch years after the PS5 versions.
“We also fully understand the importance of PS5 exclusive titles. As I mentioned earlier, PlayStation Studios’ main responsibility is to have people enjoy the game experience using the latest PS. We are increasing the number of PS5-exclusive titles and staggering the release of the PC version,” Ryan said.
“I often have the opportunity to ask game fans for their opinions, and when I ask them about the time lag, they say that selling the PC version two or three years after the release of the PS version is accepted favorably.”
Next up on PC? Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in January.
