The Last of Us Part 2 PC controls and key bindings: Full list

When you launch the game on Steam, it will bring up a prompt saying the game is best enjoyed with a controller, but in our experience, a keyboard and mouse works just fine.

The Last of Us Part 2 on PC is Steam Deck verified as well, so if that’s how you’re going to play the game, then scroll on down to the Xbox controller settings.

But with The Last of Us Season 2 coming out soon, now is a great time to get familiar with the story if you haven’t played TLOUP2 on a PlayStation yet.

But with all that said, let’s get to it!
