The Last of Us Part II Remastered is among the first games to receive a PS5 Pro patch ahead of the console's release in around two weeks.
The 1.2.0 patch, which went live a few hours ago, introduces a new rendering mode that takes advantage of the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler, with a new Pro mode that renders at 1440p with a 4K resolution, 60 FPS gameplay delivered with the upscaler. The regular Performance and Fidelity modes will also be available on the upcoming console and will provide a smoother experience and high framerates compared to the base model.
The new The Last of Us Part II Remastered patch also introduces a few additional minor fixes. You can check out the full patch notes detailing these fixes on the Naughty Dog official website.
The Last of Us Part II Remastered is now available on PlayStation 5. You can learn more on what makes this version of the game the best way to enjoy the second entry in the series by checking out my review.
The Last of Us Part II Remastered is, without a doubt, the best way to enjoy Naughty Dog's excellent survival horror game, thanks to the addition of the surprisingly fun No Return roguelike mode, the cut Lost Levels, developer commentary, and two display modes for a proper 4K resolution experience. The main campaign's bleak story remains as controversial as it was when the original game launched on PlayStation 4, but underneath, it is one of the finest survival horror games ever made.
