Overview
- Patch 2.0.1 restores lost campaign unlockables in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for PS5 that were affected by Patch 2.0.0.
- Players need to load a save from before April 3 to recover their previously unlocked items.
- The PC port of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered has been well-received, enjoying a smoother launch than The Last of Us Part 1.
The latest update for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, specifically Patch 2.0.1, addresses significant issues with unlockables from the game’s campaign mode that emerged following the earlier Patch 2.0.0. This prior update corresponded with the highly anticipated release of the game on PC on April 3, 2025.
After a successful launch on PS5 in January 2024, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered made its way to PC, quickly winning over players and reviewers alike. Along with this transition, the PS5 edition received a substantial content upgrade through Patch 2.0.0, introducing new characters, maps, trophies, and unique cosmetic items inspired by “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.”However, these enhancements were marred by a bug that resulted in players losing access to previously unlocked items—an issue now resolved with the recent patch.
Naughty Dog has rolled out Patch 2.0.1 for the PS5 version of the game, which reinstates important campaign unlockables, including skill points and an additional weapon holster. However, players must ensure they load a save file from before April 3, 2025, because those who replaced their saves post-Patch 2.0.0 may still face difficulties recovering their unlockables. This situation highlights the importance of regular backups, as Naughty Dog had initially advised during discussions surrounding the bug’s initial detection. Additionally, the team is actively working to rectify the loss of unlocked skins in the game’s No Return mode.
In a contrasting move, the PC version of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered experienced a far more successful launch compared to The Last of Us Part 1, which faced considerable performance challenges in its initial release in 2023. Currently, the PC remaster boasts a commendable “Very Positive”rating on Steam from over 4,900 players.
This timely launch of the PC port coincides with the heightened interest surrounding the franchise, especially with The Last of Us Season 2 set to premiere on April 13. This synergy between the television series and the gaming narrative hints at the potential for increased engagement with the game, a trend often observed with other video game adaptations.
