Hey everyone,

Patch 1.5 is now available for The Last of Us Part II Remastered!

Together with Naughty Dog, we are introducing a new way to play the story of The Last of Us Part II like never before – chronologically. While we recommend new players to first experience Part II's story as it was originally developed, Chronological mode adds a fascinating new way to enjoy this chapter, giving players a deeper insight into its narrative. Head over to the PlayStation Blog[blog.playstation.com] to read more from Naughty Dog on the new Chronological mode.

To celebrate this update and our friends at Naughty Dog on their 40th anniversary, you can now unlock UNCHARTED-themed skins of Joel and Tommy. These skins will be unlocked for completing the narrative in Chronological, and will be usable in No Return, Part II Remastered’s thrilling roguelike survival mode.

This PC patch also includes improvements related to dynamic blood drips, along with hair and cloth physics simulation at higher framerates. We've also addressed bugs such as missing gore effects for finishing melee attacks and various localization issues. Check out the patch notes below for all the details.

The teams at Nixxes and Naughty Dog are closely monitoring player feedback and crash reports and are working on additional updates with more bug fixes and improvements. Thank you for playing The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PC and sharing your feedback with us!
