Released for PS5 last year, The Last Of Us Part 1 is a remake of the 2013 PS3 original. It's essentially the same game, but it now looks much better. More importantly, it's the first time Naughty Dog's melodramatic post-apocalyptic action series has hit PC. It's out now, and while you might want to wait until some of the performance issues are ironed out, you may, on the other hand, want to dive in right now anyway.
It's an opportune time for Sony to port one of its biggest games: HBO's The Last Of Us television adaptation has proven extremely popular, and plenty will be keen to relive it in the form of a videogame. We also know, thanks to reviews of the PS5 version, that it's good.
If you're keen to buy The Last Of Us for PC, here are your current options, from cheapest to most expensive.
Cheapest The Last Of Us Part 1 PC version in Australia
The Last Of Us Part 1 @ Fanatical | AU$94.95 AU$85.45
Fanatical is winning the price war at the moment by a single cent. The site is currently running a promotion that grants a 5 percent discount code with every purchase, which may appeal. Pre-purchases get "bonus supplements and weapon parts"—basically just a head start in the game. If you want the Digital Deluxe Edition, which basically just grants a bunch of stuff already in the game earlier, that'll set you back AU$98.95 (down from AU$109.95). Code is redeemed on Steam.
The Last of Us Part 1 @ Green Man Gaming | AU$94.95 AU$85.46
Again, Green Man Gaming only ranks second on this list by a cent. The same pre-purchase gifts apply (bonus supplements and weapon parts), but if you partake in GMG's XP service - where you accrue XP to obtain better discounts and rewards - this grants you 855. The Digital Deluxe version is AU$98.96. Code is redeemed on Steam.
The Last Of Us Part 1 @ Humble Store | AU$94.95 (with bonuses)
If you're a Humble Choice member you've got a chance to save "up to AU$14.24" on the RRP, which brings it down to a possible AU$80.71. A good price if you're a member! All purchases get AU$4.32 cashback, which is basically AU$4.32 credit in your Humble account for any further purchase. So yeah: if you're a regular Humble Store customer, this could work out to be the best option for you. Code is redeemed on Steam.
The Last Of Us Part 1 @ Steam | AU$94.95
The boring ol' RRP on Steam. No discounts.
The Last Of Us Part 1 @ Epic Games Store | AU$94.95
As above: just the RRP on EGS, though if you've got vouchers laying around it might be a good time to use.
These prices may change over the coming weeks; if we notice that they have, we'll dutifully update the page.
