Naughty Dog has released The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered PS5 Pro Patch, arriving two weeks ahead of the PS5 Pro’s official launch on November 7, 2024. This new update, version 1.2.0, significantly enhances the game on the upcoming PS5 Pro hardware. While PS5 base model players won’t experience the full range of improvements, some fixes and performance tweaks are included.

For those upgrading to the PS5 Pro, the patch brings the following key enhancements:

• A new rendering mode using PlayStation® Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR).
• A “Pro” mode, which renders at 1440p and upscales to 4K via PSSR, maintaining a smooth 60 fps target.
• Performance and Fidelity modes have also been improved for better stability compared to the base PS5.

Lead programmer Vincent Marxen expressed his excitement about the patch, encouraging both new and returning players to enjoy the upgraded experience. The PS4-to-PS5 upgrade is still available for £10 / $10, giving players access to the PS5 Pro Patch and a major visual and performance leap.

This update ensures that The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered PS5 Pro Patch offers a top-tier experience, maximizing the potential of the new console.
