The Last of Us Part 1 New PS5 Update Fixes Key Bugs

Naughty Dog has rolled out an unexpected update for The Last of Us Part 1 on PS5. This latest patch, version 2.0.2, addresses several issues introduced in the previous update, which prepared the game for the PS5 Pro. While many players have enjoyed revisiting the game on the new hardware, some bugs have disrupted the experience, prompting this new update.

One of the primary fixes in this patch resolves a crash that occurred when players defeated enemies using any weapon. This unusual issue has now been addressed to ensure smoother gameplay. Additionally, the update corrects visual inconsistencies that made graphics appear overly sharp on the standard PS5 model, enhancing the overall visual quality.

Despite this update, it seems unlikely that Naughty Dog will continue releasing patches for The Last of Us Part 1. The game had not received significant updates for some time prior to the PS5 Pro enhancements, suggesting the studio considers its work largely complete. However, should new issues arise, further updates may be deployed.

Below are the full patch notes for update version 2.0.2:
