Naughty Dog has recently released the new The Last of Us Part 1 PC update which finally optimizes the CPU and GPU use.
The Last of Us Part 1 PC update version 1.0.4.0 has recently been released and it is also the seventh one since the game’s launch on the PC platform. The game was riddled with issues and bugs when it launched but Naughty Dog has now been slowly fixing the game with updates.
