The Last of Us Remastered PC port (PS4 version, native Windows)

The repository opened on 1 November 2026 and had reached v0.1.5 two days later, so details on this page may age quickly. If you only want to play the game on PC, Sony’s official The Last of Us Part I on Steam is a different product: a full remake, not this PS4 version.

How it works

The PS4 uses an x86-64 CPU, so the game’s own code can run directly on a PC. The project supplies the PS4 system libraries through a runtime, and a Vulkan renderer based on the shadPS4 video core carries out the graphics work. The runtime descends from SpartanPort, the God of War III PC port, which is why many settings still start with GOW3_.

Extras include DLAA through DLSS, FSR 4, an in-game menu on Insert (or R3 + L2), and a launcher in nine languages.

What you need

• Your own dump of the game folder CUSA00552, plus its 1.11 update.
• Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
• A CPU from Intel’s Haswell generation or newer, or any AMD Ryzen. The game needs AVX, F16C, BMI1, MOVBE and LZCNT.
• A GPU with Vulkan 1.3 and a current driver.
• About 6 GB of free RAM.

How to run it

1. Download the zip from the releases page and extract it.
2. Open TLOU Launcher.exe.
3. Choose the game folder under Folders, and press Play.

Nothing else needs installing. Afterwards a shortcut with the game’s icon appears beside the launcher.

Status and known issues

• One crash along the way is not fixed yet.
• Frame pacing swings when the game runs below its limit. A fixed 30 fps limit helps.
• NPCs sometimes move in jumps. The cause is not settled.
• Short pauses when a frame compiles many new shaders, mostly the first time you enter an area.
• Shots pass through some parts of objects. One firefly pendant in the courtyard after the quarantine zone cannot be shot down for this reason.
• Not available yet: a true mouse camera, draw distance sliders and keyboard button prompts.

Without a DualShock 4, the touchpad is Tab or Backspace, or Back/View on an Xbox-style controller. Shaking the controller is G, or Share/Capture. The flashlight never flickers out by default, so it needs no shake.

The repository had 46 open issues on 4 November 2026.
