from more than 3,200 Steam user reviewsOn the negative side, 67 percent reported the above issues with performance. Some verified buyers of the PC port claim that their copy crashes every 20 minutes while others complain of poor optimization. Shading build-up is also a source of frustration for many.

With so many negative reviews at launch from users, it’s clear that something isn’t quite right under the hood on PC.
Despite all of these issues, the developer is doubling down on its PS5 and PC development efforts: “Sharing our stories and experiences on PS5 as well as PC is something Naughty Dog has embraced and will continue to support going forward.” It wouldn’t be surprising for The Last of Us Multiplayer to launch on both platforms on the same day and date as each other, so the studio will want to steadily fix these teething problems.
