The Last of Us Part 1 PS5 Update 2.00 Patch Notes

Naughty Dog has released update 2.00 for The Last of Us Part 1 on PS5, introducing a crucial enhancement: PS5 Pro support. This update allows players to take advantage of the PS5 Pro’s improved graphical capabilities.

• Pro Mode: A new rendering mode, dubbed “Pro mode,” leverages PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) to deliver 1440p visuals upscaled to 4K, while maintaining a target frame rate of 60fps. This mode provides a significant improvement over the base PS5 experience.
• Fidelity & Performance Modes Remain: The existing Performance and Fidelity rendering options are also available and continue to offer enhanced gameplay experiences with smoother framerates compared to the original PS5 version. The exact framerates for these modes, however, remain unspecified.

The update also addresses several gameplay and accessibility issues. These include fixes for issues relating to New Game+ mode, artifact collection desync, and inconsistent frame rates on specific monitors. Other fixes target specific areas within the game, such as smoother swimming controls, preventing speedrun timer resets and improving Ellie’s accuracy with certain weapons.

Will You Buy a PS5 Pro or Wait for the PS6?

The upcoming launch of the PS5 Pro has sparked a debate among gaming enthusiasts. The improved graphical capabilities and enhanced gaming experiences promise impressive upgrades for existing titles, especially for players who want crisp visuals and smooth frame rates, and will be crucial for compatibility with the latest 4K displays.

Many will undoubtedly opt for the PS5 Pro to experience these upgrades, while others may choose to wait for the potential advancements of the PS6 console. The choice largely depends on the perceived value of the features offered by the new console relative to its price and how these features are implemented. The new, improved game experiences will surely be a major factor in deciding which direction to go.

Beyond the Pro enhancements, the update addresses several specific bugs in various gameplay segments.
