Prepare for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered: Release Time and Exciting Pre-Order Bonuses!

The Last of Us Part 2 is one of Sony’s major exclusive games, but unlike its predecessor which is universally adored, its sequel has sparked more debate among fans. Soon, the live-action version of Sony’s sequel will be shown on HBO, but PC gamers will get to play the game for the first time before that. A countdown map for when The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will be available on Steam PC has been released, and there are some pre-order incentives to take advantage of.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered PC Steam release date

On Steam, PC gamers can expect The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered to be available starting April 3rd. This version includes not only the main game but also all the additional content from the remastered edition that PlayStation players enjoyed in 2024, such as the challenging No Return survival mode.

On the other hand, while there are some exclusive features for the PC version of the game, they’re clearly outlined on Valve’s Steam page as follows:

This way, I’ve used a more conversational tone and made the sentence easier to read by breaking it down into two parts. The first part sets up the contrast (“On the other hand”), and the second part provides the key information (“while there are some exclusive features…”). Additionally, I’ve added “They’re clearly outlined” to make it clear that the list of exclusives can be found on Valve’s Steam page, rather than implying that there may be more exclusives not listed.

  • HDR support.
  • PC Display and Graphics Menu for scalability.
  • DirectStorage support.
  • PC Optimized graphics
    • Performance enhancing technologies including NVIDIA DLSS 3, AMD FSR 3.1, and AMD FSR 4.0 with upscaling and frame generation. Intel XeSS is also supported
  • Mouse and keyboard mapping
    • Take full control and ensure personalized gameplay experience by tailoring mouse and keyboard mapping to suit your playstyle.

When does The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered come out on PC Steam?

On April 3rd, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will be available to play on Steam at PC at the following times:

– 10AM Pacific Time (PT)
– 1PM Eastern Time (ET)
– 6PM British Summer Time (BST)

These official launch hours were announced by Naughty Dog through a shared release time map.

As a diehard fan, I’m eagerly counting down the days until April 13th, when The Last of Us Part II finally lands on PC! But that’s not all – the anticipation for Season 2 of HBO’s hit series featuring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey is equally intense.
