Naughty Dog has released a new patch for The Last Of Us PC port, but the real question is, can it turn things around? 

On March 28, 2023, the PC world saw the entry of The Last Of Us on Steam, as well as the Epic Games store. Fans were enthralled to try their hands on this classic as they manifested the PC port for months. After all, who didn’t want to experience the adventures of Joel and Ellie live on their screens? And while they were all set to clock all-nighters and enjoy this beautiful game, their dream turned into their worst nightmare.

Mainly because the game turned out to have a plethora of bugs, followed by low graphics. So, when players wanted to experience the cinematic, it felt like they were in the early 2000s era.
