The Last of Us Part 2 has been upgraded for PS5 - and we've tested it

From Digital Foundry: "The Last of Us Part 2 has finally received its long-awaited PlayStation 5 upgrade, 11 months to the day since Naughty Dog's epic sequel launched on PS4 and Pro. It's a free upgrade takes the form of a 299MB patch - version 1.08 - that automatically updates the PlayStation 4 version of the game, offering PS5 users the chance to play the game at 60 frames per second. We've had the patch for a week now, allowing us to extensively test and re-test the game from start to finish.

It's an interesting release: The Last of Us Part 2 stands as one of the most technically ambitious titles released for the PlayStation 4 and we wondered how well this sort of performance patch would work out. After all, no matter how you feel about the game, it's a stunning technical achievement that flirts with the limits of its original platform - and capping to 30fps was required in order to deliver its beautiful visuals. With this in mind, we were curious to see how it would fare on PS5 with its frame-rate limited removed. Can PS5 really lock to 60fps?"

Putting aside all those muscles and golf players(please dont get mad), I think is time to buy it :D

[roadkillers]

If you didn't think she was hot, I think you might be playing for the wrong team :D

Edit: Sorry, different team

[NealGamby]

Straight as an arrow but she wasn’t my cup of tea. I like my women more feminine. Great game, though. I’d highly recommend that all haters give it a chance. I hated on it too, at first.

[masterfox]

Ewwww no way man I definitely absolutely not find it hot , I mean come on man! , that scene oh god noooo my eyes!!! , I would rather find more attractive lady demitrescu in monster form than that thing LOL 🤣

[Sunny_D]

Not hot, but didn't hate her.

[roadkillers]

@masterfox

What about Salvatore Moreau monster form? haha

[Nineball2112]

Who Abby?... No, she wasn't "hot" and no, not playing for the wrong OR different team.

[darthv72]

Nice work Sony. keep em coming... bloodborne next please.

[SullysCigar]

That's the dream!

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

Really hope they get 60fps sorted out for Horizon as well.

[darthv72]

Uncharted 4 as well. I figure if ND was able to do one for LoU2 (relatively quick), they can do one for UC4.

[BEASELY]

Yeah, Sony, put it on PC.

[alb1899]

I was waiting for this one....now I get a PS5.....if it is possible jajaja!

[RaidenBlack]

After nearly a whole year, I expected a native PS5 port, complete with higher DRS and enhanced rendering resolution and even better boot time.
Anyways, they finally at least offered the unlocked frame cap.

[elazz]

Naughty Dog are working on new projects. They won't make a remake of the game. It looks good enough. I doubt even if there will be a TLOU1 remake because more and more things from those articles seem exaggerated or out of context.

[RaidenBlack]

No, not a remake.
A native PS5 port.
Instead of the bc ps4 version.
Something like Miles Morales

[Atticus_finch]

It seems to me that you're just looking for reasons to complain. No game looks better and now at 60fps. It was that easy the update would had came out long ago and with more improvements.

[Christopher]

They're not, they just have different priorities or think everything that can be done should. I'm fine with Sony focusing their studios on new games. A complete port to ps5 seems like a waste when we wanted BC to support old games and not to focus development on updating them every generation.

[CrimsonWing69]

I can barely tell the difference between Miles on PS4 and Miles on PS5

[Babadook7]

The 60 fps mode is noticeably better though.

[Christopher]

Did you check out his reflection on the PS4, though?

[badz149]

@RaidenBlack

Native 4K or not, TLoU2 already looks better than all native next-gen games out right now and it's 60fps lock. Still wanna complain? Isn't this what people wanted all along? I bet if they release the native PS5 version, trolls will come out in droves and sread the hate on Sony and ND for double dipping on their fans

[SullysCigar]

Hell yes! Seems like this took forever, but I'm glad it was worth the wait. Absolutely gorgeous.

[waverider]

Cutting the loading at the start for half is also very good.

[S2Killinit]

Damn can you imagine?!

[Aussiesummer]

So is the resolution up or not? The trailer states it is.

[Bigman4k]

Not according to DF just can play last of us 2 60fps now

[dumahim]

I saw someone speculate on PS4 it had a dynamic resolution, so on PS5 it'd be more stable or locked.

[Bigman4k]

Yeah i did too so idk

[DFresh]

I'll always prefer the first game to the second game.
Though some things I did like about the second game was the visuals, character development (minus Abby), weapons shop, gruesome violence and the evolution of Ellie.
I'd still recommend this game.
Glad it got a visual and performance boost.
