It seems the long-awaited PC of The Last of Us port will be Steam Deck-ready, according to series creator Neil Druckmann.
During the 2022 Game Awards on Friday, Naughty Dog announced that The Last of Us: Part 1 will release on Mar. 3, 2023, for PC. There’s no word on any PC-specific features yet, but it’ll work on the Steam Deck.
“Ellie and Joel will grace the Steam Deck,” Druckmann said on Twitter. “Don’t worry!”

Druckmann didn’t clarify whether or not The Last of Us: Part 1 will be Steam Deck ready at launch, but it can’t be far behind if not. After all, the list of Steam Deck-verified games grows pretty regularly. Other PlayStation ports, like Spider-Man: Remastered and Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, already fully support Valve’s handheld PC.
The Last of Us: Part 1, a complete remake of the original game, initially came out for PS5 in September 2022. Every graphical element has been redone to support 4K resolutions and loads of accessibility features, though the gameplay is identical to prior iterations. It’s already up for pre-ordering on Steam and the Epic Games Store, for about $60 USD.
