AMD will give away The Last of Us Part I with its Radeon RX 6000 and 7000, and this tells us an important secret

The Last of Us Part I is, in a PC version, one of the most anticipated games of the moment, and it is understandable, since it is the debut of one of the most important PlayStation exclusives. The game was originally released on PS3 and it became, without a doubt, a “golden closure” for the life cycle of said console.

Later there was the release of a remastered version on PS4, and recently we saw the release of The Last of Us Part I on PS5, an installment that comes to be a remake of the originalan important update on a technical level that, in general terms, brings it closer to what we saw in The Last of Us Part II.

Thanks to a recent leak, we have been able to discover that AMD plans to launch an interesting promotion, since it will include The Last of Us Part I free when you buy a Radeon RX 6000 and Radeon RX 7900 card, provided that we make said purchase at a retailer that is affiliated with the promotion.

The list of graphics cards included in the promotion is so extensive that covers everything AMD has on the market right nowfrom a Radeon RX 6400 to a Radeon RX 7900 XTX, and this leaves us with a very important fact related to the requirements of this game, that it will be affordable enough to run on a Radeon RX 6400.

The Last of Us Part I will work with a Radeon RX 6400

And this makes the estimate of requirements that we offered you a few days ago acquire much more strength, and is supported by an official source. The Radeon RX 6400 is equivalent to a GeForce GTX 1650 or Radeon RX 470which means it’s around 33% slower than a 6GB GeForce GTX 1060 and 36% slower than an 8GB Radeon RX 580, which are the two graphics cards we put in the recommended requirements.

On the other hand, this also suggests that it will be a fairly affordable game in its compatible version, and that it will be able to run smoothly even on fairly old and underpowered computers. So that you have another reference I confirm that the Radeon RX 6400 is 16% slower than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970.

This game is coming to PC on March 28 and will be priced at 59.99 euros in its standard version. It can be purchased on both Steam and the Epic Games Store.
