The Last Of Us Part I will be Steam Deck compatible, according to the game’s co-director.
The acclaimed 2013 game was recently confirmed to be getting a “newly optimised” PC release that’s due out in March.
However, some fans have questioned whether it will be compatible with the handheld Steam Deck – and Neil Druckmann has finally answered.
Replying to a fan who said on Twitter that they would decide whether to buy the game once they know whether it will be compatible, Druckmann replied: “Ellie and Joel will grace the Steam Deck… don’t worry!”

The Naughty Dog game, which was originally released on PlayStation 3 in 2013, had its PC release date revealed last week, with fans able to pre-purchase on Epic and Steam.
PlayStation released a video trailer for the game and also shared a blog post with further info on the release.
“The development of The Last Of Us Part I on PC provided us with an opportunity to open our game in new ways,” Game Director Matthew Gallant said. “We learned a lot from the development of Uncharted: Legacy Of Thieves Collection on PC earlier this year, and we can’t wait to make The Last Of Us Part I at home on the PC as well.”
Fans who pre-purchase the game will be able to get “bonus supplements to upgrade your skillset” and “bonus weapon parts to upgrade your arsenal”.
