All this has to be encouraging for fans of the game on PC. In thepatch notes postthe team said,

We at Naughty Dog and our partners at Iron Galaxy are closely watching player reports to support future improvements and patches. We are actively optimizing, working on game stability, and implementing additional fixes which will all be included in regularly released future updates.

TheLast of Us Part 1is a remake of the 2013 PlayStation 3/4 action-adventure gameThe Last of Us. The 2022 remake itself is highly acclaimed on console; if the team continues to clean up this Windows version it may go a long way toward winning back the trust of gamers on PC.
