PC release of The Last of Us Part 1 experiences minor delay
The release of The Last of Us Part 1 on PC has been postponed by a few weeks, but it will still be available in March.
On February 3, Naughty Dog announced that The Last of Us Part 1 will now be released on March 28, a delay of nearly four weeks from its initial release date of March 3.
HBO show might be the reason why The Last of Us Part 1 has been postponed
Surprisingly, the delay of the release was partly caused by the success of the HBO show based on the game, which has renewed the game's popularity and introduced it to a new audience.
"Hearing your love for the HBO adaptation, seeing your beautiful Photo Mode shots, and learning about how the world and characters our studio created nearly a decade ago continue to reach new and old fans alike floors us every day," Naughty Dog said.
"We know a lot of you have been revisiting the story that started it all with The Last of Us Part 1 on PlayStation 5 console, and we realize that many of you have been excited to jump in—some for the first time—when Part 1 hits PC." it added.
