The PlayStation 5 Pro patch for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered has landed, giving us a more concrete idea of the kinds of features that the game will utilize on the upcoming console.
As revealed in a new post on the Naughty Dog website, the newest The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered update, patch 1.2.0, adds PS5 Pro support. On the PS5 Pro, you will be able to access a new rendering mode that uses PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) AI upscaling.
The added “Pro” graphics setting option will render at a resolution of 1440p, upscaled to 4K via PSSR, and target 60 frames per second. The developer clarifies that the existing Performance and Fidelity modes will still be available but will now offer smoother performance and higher framerates than the base console.
The PS5 Pro is set to launch on November 7, with PS5 Pro pre-orders currently ongoing. The console looks like a serious upgrade compared to the launch model, boasting a significantly faster GPU and CPU. It also supports new features like advanced ray tracing and PSSR.
A number of PS5 Pro games have been confirmed so far and will feature a special label in the PlayStation Store.
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered was released back in January, offering an enhanced version of the 2020 PS4 game designed to take full advantage of the PS5. In addition to being sold as a separate package, eligible owners of the PS4 version can upgrade to Remastered for just $10 / £10 on the PS Store.
