The Last of Us Part 1 system requirements on PC

It seems like 16 GB RAM is going to be the new bare minimum to run modern titles. The Last of Us Part 1 PC port suggests 16 gigs of memory right from the minimum requirements.

The game will still be playable if your system has 8 GB of RAM, provided the rest of it has enough firepower to back the frames up. However, if your intention is to play the game at 4K ultra settings, you need to have a beefy system with a 4080 and an Intel Core i5-12600K or Ryzen 9 5900X.
