The Last of Us Part 2 Gets New PS5 Pro Update With Patch Notes

Naughty Dog has today released its first major update for The Last of Us Part II Remastered in nine months. At the start of the year, the latest version of The Last of Us Part II launched on PS5 with improved visuals, a new game mode, and a handful of additional features. Now, with the PS5 Pro console set to launch in mere weeks, Naughty Dog has let loose another patch that paves the way for this new PlayStation hardware.

Available to download now, patch version 1.2.0 for The Last of Us Part II Remastered is predominantly tied to PS5 Pro. Even if you don’t plan on picking up Sony’s new PS5 model, this update will make the game compatible with the upcoming console and brings the new PSSR resolution upgrades. Beyond this, Naughty Dog has also looked to resolve a handful of bugs. Most of these errors are related to the No Return game mode, while others are related to accessibility and audio options.
