The Last of Us
Will The Last of Us, Spider-Man, God of War and other PS4 exclusives be coming to PC soon? The possibilities, as we know, are concrete and the PlayStation Studios page on Steam seems to somehow confirm this.Last August it was Horizon Zero Dawn's turn, in a few days we will be able to welcome Days Gone and sooner still there have been titles like Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Predator: Hunting Grounds, Guns Up! and Helldivers.
Well, on the Steam Author page of PlayStation Studios a total of 41 projects are listed: considering already known games and DLCs we are at twenty-six, which means that there are still fifteen products missing.
Steam, the PlayStation Studios author page. Sony announced in February that Days Gone and other PS4 exclusive games would arrive on PC starting this spring, without giving specific names but also without precluding any possibility.
So yes, it is reasonable to imagine that among those fifteen products may be the various The Last of Us and The Last of Us 2, God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man and maybe even the new exclusives for PS5, in particular Returnal.
In short, it seems confirmed that Sony does not see more the PC as an opponent, and this new setting of the company will allow the PlayStation catalog to open up to a new, potentially very large audience.

“They put an open casting call out to southern Alberta, for people who might be interested and might have days that they’re available to come out and be part of the fun, be part of the atmosphere,” said Brock Skretting, the head of advocacy and tourism.
“Of course, we’re in COVID-times so they can’t do in-person line up casting call like they would typically do, so they’re doing that all online.”
The Last of Us production is scheduled to begin after the Canada Day long weekend and go until June 8, 2022.
Skretting said filming will be taking place in-and-around Fort Macleod, Lethbridge, High River, and Calgary, creating a lot of job opportunities for the region.
“We love hiring local, we love hiring people that are out of work and making sure that money is going into the local economy,” he said.

“They’re also looking for — it’s not a requirement — but if people have vehicles that are from 1995-2003, that’ll also play into because it doesn’t happen in current times, but a little bit in the past in the show.”
In the video game, the country was ravaged by a fungus two decades earlier that turned most people into zombie mutants and left the human survivors hostile and cannibalistic.
The storyline follows a smuggler named Joel, who is tasked with escorting a teenage girl, Ellie, out of an oppressive quarantine zone and across post-apocalyptic America.
