Replace: An earlier model of this text did not make it clear that the 5800 XT would not truly exist. This has been clarified.

Final week the PC specs for The Final of Us (or TLOU if you happen to’re cool) PC port had been launched by Naughty Canine and Sony. If these minimal necessities gave you a fright, then there’s some excellent news, as they’ve been up to date and will not be fairly as demanding. Curiously, the Iron Galaxy emblem has additionally been slapped onto the brand new specification sheet which suggests it’s dealing with the port.

The Final of Us is a recreation pricey to many peoples’ hearts, and in addition to being a critically-acclaimed recreation, a HBO TV present based mostly on the sport has been extraordinarily properly acquired as properly, so hype for the PC port is greater than ever.

In addition to the addition of the Iron Galaxy emblem, we are able to see a couple of minor adjustments to the really helpful necessities for avid gamers trying to play the sport quickly. 

The excellent news is the up to date specs are literally decrease than earlier than, which implies extra PC avid gamers are will be capable to play the sport with out having to shell out for tools upgrades. For instance, within the graphic beneath you may see that in case your efficiency objective is 60 fps at 1080p, relatively than the AMD Radeon RX 5800 XT (8GB), gamers with a seemingly much less highly effective AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (8GB) will be capable to meet that specification.

As lots of people have identified, regardless of there being an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (8GB) and even an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, AMD by no means ended up releasing a AMD Radeon RX 5800 XT. The reference to the GPU within the preliminary system necessities seems to have been an unlucky typo.

We have excessive hopes that the sport will run easily and be simply as a lot enjoyable for PC avid gamers because it was for console gamers since Iron Galaxy did a fairly good job with the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Assortment port. Not a sensational port by any means, however positively strong sufficient that the gaming expertise wasn’t hindered.

Nice information for everybody!

As we gear up for the PC model of The Final of Us to launch on March 28, we’re fairly happy to see the changes which were made to permit avid gamers with older tools to nonetheless benefit from the recreation at an inexpensive capability. Whereas the reference to the non-existent AMD Radeon RX 5800 XT was an error, we’re glad that it looks as if it was meant to say the extra reasonably priced RX 5700 XT, relatively than the dearer AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT. In relation to PC specs, a stray quantity can change the context fairly drastically.

With the recognition of the present and the next resurgence of the fandom, a great deal of newcomers to TLOU might be happy with the improved specification listing. 

Hopefully, this can be a pattern we’ll see extra sooner or later and have these of us caught on older, extra acquainted tools saved in thoughts when porting video games over from console to PC. There’s no drastic change between {hardware} specs on this case, however sufficient to hopefully warrant a optimistic response from the group.
