The Last of Us 2 has been out for a few months now, and players are still getting enjoyment out of the hit game. Now that some of the controversy around Joel, Ellie, and Abby has died down, many are enjoying their next playthrough of the game, and Naughty Dog is continuing to roll out patches to enhance player experience.
On its release, it was clear that The Last of Us 2 quickly became one of the standout games on the market. The game broke multiple sales records and even has the highest completion percentage of all PS4 games. While The Last of Us 2 is a technical masterpiece, it's unfortunately not without bugs and errors.
Naughty Dog announced that a new update would be rolling out for The Last of Us 2 starting from today. This will be update version 1.07 for the game but is fairly minor in comparison to past updates. No details were given by Naughty Dog apart from the patch targeting 'minor bug fixes and improvements,' but this is good news for players because at least the update should be small in size and hassle free.
The Last of Us 2 has been known to have some glitches such as companion AI getting stuck or infinite falling bugs which are frustrating for gameplay, so it's comforting to know the studio is working on fixes. These issues are also to be expected with such an intricate game. Some of the aspects of The Last of Us 2 are so detailed to the point that Ellie will notice when she is walking through rain or a character will react when they are looking in a mirror. The Last of Us 2 is also the biggest game that Naughty Dog has worked on, and it is likely more patches will be coming down the line for some time into the future.
The previous update for The Last of Us 2 brought sizeable new features including Grounded mode, Permadeath and cheats. This brought a whole new level of challenge for players with extra difficult and only one life for the entirety of the game. The patch also implemented extra trophy achievements and even unlocked a new menu screening for those who completed The Last of Us 2 with these new settings. The update also introduced gameplay modifiers for The Last of Us 2 which changed the game's visual design and allowed new graphic style's such as 8-bit or inverse color filters.
The Last of Us 2 is available now exclusively on PS4.
