The rumor mill around The Last of Us: Part II is buzzing with talk of a PC release expected this year. The chatter originates from a post on X (formerly Twitter) attributed to a Silk Knight insider. While the claim has sparked considerable interest, it remains unconfirmed by Sony or any official channel. The broader implication is that Sony may be expanding its portfolio of PC ports, a trend that has gained momentum in recent years as major first-party titles find new life on computer platforms. This rumor specifically questions whether the PC version would be the original PlayStation 4 version ported to PC or a subsequent PlayStation 5 upgrade bundled with enhancements, but no definitive details are provided in the initial post.
According to the same source, Sony appears to be pursuing a multi-title PC port strategy, with The Last of Us: Part II highlighted as one of the expected entries in the near future. The post notes that the precise nature of the PC release—whether it mirrors the original game or introduces PS5-era improvements—has not been clarified. Readers should treat this information as speculative until official confirmation surfaces from Sony or its publishing partners, but the pattern aligns with Sony’s recent behavior of releasing select titles on PC after a PS4 or PS5 window.

Beyond The Last of Us, the insider also touches on other long-rumored projects. The report suggests that a Final Fantasy IX remake is progressing, albeit with potential obstacles that could push a release back by several years and possibly necessitate significant scope changes to the project. Additionally, Bloodborne is bound for an updated version in the future, yet this, too, is tied to a longer development timeline. The absence of formal confirmations means fans should wait for official statements before recalibrating their expectations for these titles. (Attribution: Silk Knight insider)
While Silk Knight has earned a reputation for predicting announcements like Ghost of Tsushima’s PC port, which was publicly revealed in a confirmed timeline and released with Russian localization on a specified date, the current claims about The Last of Us: Part II and the other titles should be read with caution. The Ghost of Tsushima instance serves as a reference point for how PC port announcements can unfold, but it does not guarantee similar outcomes for every rumor. Until Sony or its partners provide a formal confirmation, this information remains speculative. (Source note: Silk Knight insider)
Historically, Sony has gradually expanded its PC footprint by evaluating markets and user demand, while maintaining a pace that aligns with its internal development priorities and platform strategy. Readers should monitor official Sony channels, developer blogs, and trusted press outlets for updates. While insiders can offer insights, the absence of formal confirmation means the timeline, scope, and even the existence of these ports can shift. In the meantime, fans are encouraged to enjoy established releases and stay tuned for genuine announcements. (General industry context and cautious outlook)
