Naughty Dog has surprised players with a new update (version 2.0.2) for The Last of Us Part 1 on PS5. This patch arrives roughly a month after the previous update, which optimized the game for the PS5 Pro. While that update enhanced the game for new hardware, it seems to have inadvertently introduced some bugs that this latest patch aims to rectify.
This update is primarily focused on bug fixes rather than adding new features. One of the key issues addressed is a crash that occurred when players eliminated enemies using any weapon. This peculiar bug, which disrupted gameplay, should now be resolved. Additionally, the update corrects visual inconsistencies that were present on standard PS5 consoles, ensuring a more polished graphical experience for all players.
Key Fixes in The Last of Us Part 1 Update 2.0.2
Naughty Dog’s latest patch for The Last of Us Part 1 tackles specific issues affecting PS5 players. The patch notes highlight the following fixes:
- Crash Fix: Addresses a crash triggered by eliminating enemies with any weapon.
- Visual Fix: Corrects visual anomalies that appeared sharper than intended on base PS5 models.
Looking Ahead for The Last of Us Part 1
Following the PS5 Pro optimization, this 2.0.2 patch may signal the end of major updates for The Last of Us Part 1. The extended period between previous patches suggests that Naughty Dog considers the game largely complete. While future updates might address unforeseen issues, this release could mark the final significant update for this critically acclaimed remake. Unless additional problems arise, players can likely expect a stable and polished experience going forward.
