Naughty Dog has revealed the PC specs for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, which launches on April 3. There are also going to be new content additions for the roguelike No Return mode.
Naughty Dog provided four PC presets: Minimum, Recommended, High, and Very High. On the low end, the game runs at 720p at 30fps and on the very high end, while the target experience is 4K resolution at 60fps. The game requires at least 16 GB of RAM, but the Very High setting requires 32 GB. As for the GPU players will need at least a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 / AMD Radeon RX 550XT, while the high end requires a Nvidia GeForce GTX 4080 / AMD Radeon RX 7900XT.
PC features include adjustable texture quality, LOD distance range, volumetric quality, shadow quality, ambient occlusion, and reflections quality. There is also ultrawide monitor support up to 48:9 resolutions, as well as keyboard and mouse support along with full control remapping.
For the No Return mode, there are two new characters being added, which are Bill and Marlene from the first game. Bill has a “smuggler” playstyle that allows enemies to drop a custom pump shotgun for him to equip, and he gets double rewards from drops too. While he can’t dodge, he has increased defense against melee attacks. Marlene has a “risk taker” playstyle and can reroute her path in the game once per run.
There are also four new maps: Overlook, School, Streets, and Nest. While the game on PC won’t require a PSN account, players can log into their accounts to gain 50 in-game points to spend on bonuses. Those who log in will also receive a new skin for Ellie, which is Jordan A. Mun’s jacket from Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
