# The Last of Us Remastered: running the PS4 game on Windows

> This port runs the PlayStation 4 game The Last of Us Remastered, product CUSA00552 with update 1.11, on Windows. The game's own x86-64 code runs on the PC. A runtime supplies the PS4 system libraries, and a Vulkan renderer from the shadPS4 video core executes the GPU work. TLOU Launcher.exe selects the dumped game folder. A source run places CUSA00552 beside the repository and the update as CUSA00552-patch. The MSYS2 CLANG64 build uses gow3_pc/build.sh after the Vulkan, SDL3, and FFmpeg packages are installed.
