In recent years, PlayStation has implemented a new business strategy and started bringing its exclusives to PC. Sony is sticking to its guns, and we already know that another very important title is on its way to computers. Meanwhile, a former Blizzard executive expressed his desire to see a port of The Last of Us: Part II.

The first installment of the Naughty Dog franchise made its way to Steam in 2023 with The Last of Us: Part I, the remastered version that improved the visual aspect. Unfortunately, the PC port had a disastrous debut due to a multitude of technical issues and bugs that hindered the experience for thousands of players.

Developers released patches to address the most severe issues, and it seems that the state of the single-player game on PC is finally acceptable. Thus, Mike Ybarra, former president of Blizzard Entertainment, gave it a shot, and his opinion is extremely positive.

In a social media post, the executive, who left Blizzard Entertainment in early 2024 amidst a wave of layoffs, praised the former PlayStation exclusive and stated that it is "simply impressive." Additionally, he expressed his intention to complete the game 100% and collect all the collectibles.

"I finally started playing The Last of Us on PC. They've fixed the unfortunate quality issues from the launch, and the Steam version is fantastic. This game, along with Red Dead Redemption 2, is simply impressive in terms of single-player titles," commented Mike Ybarra.

Additionally, the former Blizzard president sent a special message to Naughty Dog. Specifically, he requested a PC port of The Last of Us: Part II, the controversial sequel that continues the story with Ellie in the lead role.

"Hey, Naughty Dog. Release a PC version of TLOU 2 already. I'm here to try it out anytime," commented Mike Ybarra.

Will The Last of Us Part II Come to PC?

Earlier this year, The Last of Us: Part II Remastered debuted, a remastered version of the 2020 title with subtle improvements and new content. It is currently available exclusively for PlayStation 5, but fans hope that eventually, it will follow in the footsteps of its predecessor and come to PC.

It is unknown whether Sony plans to bring Ellie and Abby's adventure to Steam; however, an insider noted that a PC port is in development and will be announced sometime in April.

But tell us, do you agree with Mike Ybarra's opinion? Do you think the sequel will come to PC? Let us hear from you in the comments.
