Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II (TLOU2) was way more ambitious than its predecessor The Last of Us – a game that sold over 17 million copies, in every single way, including graphically as the game’s photorealistic art design as well as motion-captured animations made it look like a live-action movie at points.
TLOU2 ended up bagging 300+ awards including the 2020 Game of The Year award. Unfortunately, the game was held back by the PlayStation 4’s aging hardware and would struggle to run in some areas, and as a result, it was limited to 30FPS, even on PS4 Pro. The fact that it still looks gorgeous on a 7- year old hardware is an impressive feat for Naughty Dog.
However, with the release of PlayStation 5, players expected to run the game at higher frame rates but the game was still locked to 30FPS until today as patch 1.08 that was released today now lets PS5 users run the game at 60FPS.
According to PlayStation’s blog post,
Once patch 1.08 for The Last of Us Part II is installed on your PS5, you will find a toggle in the Display options that allows you to choose between a Framerate Target of 30 FPS or 60 FPS. This allows you to choose your preferred framerate to complement the rest of the enhancements that are part of the PS5 backward compatibility with PS4 games, such as an enhanced resolution, faster load times, and more.
The game is also set to receive more PS5 enhancements in the future, as stated in the blog.
