In the latest update for The Last of Us Part 1, Naughty Dog has rolled out patch 2.0.2 for PS5, addressing a couple of pesky issues that disrupted players’ experiences. This update targets a crash that occurred when dispatching foes with any weapon and fixes an anomaly where the game’s visuals came across as overly sharp. Naturally, these improvements have sparked curiosity among fans regarding the addition of the Factions multiplayer mode to the remake.
Back in October 2024, the previous patch tackled various issues, from photo mode adjustments to tweaking the Fidelity display, along with minor audio and lighting fixes in later stages of the game. Released in 2022 as a remake of the iconic 2013 original, The Last of Us Part 1 has enhanced its combat scenarios and exploration mechanics, making it a delight for accessibility enthusiasts. Moreover, The Last of Us Part 1 and its sequel, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, received enhancements for the PS5 Pro, boosting accessibility and ironing out bugs unique to the newer console.
This patch, which dropped on November 26, is concise, fine-tuning two specific issues. The first fix solves a crash glitch players stumbled upon when executing enemies. Despite the game’s visually stunning graphics, there was a snag where textures appeared sharper than they should, which has now been addressed, providing a smoother visual experience.
As is common in game development, bugs occasionally slip through the cracks. A notable glitch in The Last of Us Part 1 had infected foes acting unexpectedly, yet Naughty Dog’s diligent updates aim to refine gameplay. Discussions on social media reveal that patch 2.0.2 shares some issues with The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, including rendering hiccups where textures lagged behind. PC gamers have also reported lingering bugs in the PC version.
Fans eagerly welcomed the hotfix, though many took to Twitter to lobby for a revival of the original game’s Factions multiplayer in the remake. Meanwhile, excitement brews over whispers of a potential third installment in this beloved post-apocalyptic saga, with speculations about Naughty Dog’s next big venture swirling online.
Delve into the gripping narrative and iconic characters of The Last of Us, now rebuilt for the PS5 with cutting-edge technology, offering enhanced visual fidelity and innovative DualSense™ controller features. This reimagined journey captures the essence of the original, yet integrates modern gameplay and accessibility improvements to captivate both new players and veterans alike.
