The Last of Us Remastered (PS4) runs natively on PC
By Tgames · · 2 min read
The Last of Us Remastered, the PS4 version, runs natively on PC thanks to an unofficial port: playable from start to finish, with 60 fps possible.
Joel and Ellie on PC, PS4 version
Between 3 and 4 November 2026, ravencaio released versions 0.1.4 to 0.1.6 of a PC port of The Last of Us Remastered, the 2014 PS4 edition. Not to be confused with The Last of Us Part I, the remake Sony sells on PC: here, it really is the PS4 game running on Windows.
It is not a full emulator. The game's x86-64 code runs directly on the PC's processor, a layer supplies the PS4 system libraries, and rendering goes through Vulkan using the shadPS4 video core. The engine comes from the same family as the God of War III Remastered port (SpartanPort), under the GPL v2 license.
Where does it stand?

Caution
The author's account dates back to 2020. They say they use Claude AI a lot for this project. The port does not come from Sony or Naughty Dog, and could be hit by a takedown request. Only download it from its GitHub page. To run other PS4 games on PC, shadPS4 remains the reference.

Where does it stand?
- according to the README, a player finished it from start to finish, with one crash along the way that is not fixed yet;
- on a laptop with a Core i7-8750H and a GTX 1050 Ti, 60 fps in light areas and 40 to 44 fps in the heaviest one;
- 0.1.5 brings the PS4 Pro shadows and a faster mouse camera, 0.1.4 keyboard and mouse settings in the launcher;
- 0.1.6 accepts other regional versions of the game;
- known issues: characters who move in jumps, short pauses while shaders compile, and shots that pass through some objects.
What you need
- Windows 10 or 11 64-bit, an Intel Haswell processor or newer, or any Ryzen;
- a graphics card with Vulkan 1.3 support and about 6 GB of free RAM;
