[Original Story] Naughty Dog's The Last of Us is rightly considered as one of the best games released in recent years, and the release of The Last of Us Remastered on PlayStation 4 a while back allowed fans of the game to enjoy it with better graphics and performance. A few hours ago, the game has received yet another update which promises to make the game look even better.

A few hours ago, The Last of Us Remastered received a new update which introduced PlayStation 4 Pro support as well as HDR support, which is available for all PlayStation 4 models. As the PS4 Pro has yet to be released, we don't know how the game will benefit from the more powerful hardware, but we can already get a good idea on how HDR improves the game. A couple of NeoGAF users have shared some comparison screenshots highlighting the difference HDR makes, and you can find them right below.

The Last of Us Remastered has been released a while back on PlayStation 4 in all regions. The remastered version of the successful PlayStation 3 game comes with full 1080p, improved shadows and lighting, some gameplay tweaks and more.

20 years after a pandemic has radically changed known civilization, infected humans run wild and survivors are killing each other for food, weapons; whatever they can get their hands on.
