The Last of Us Part 1’s latest PC patch optimises the game on PC, boosting framerates
Naughty Dog and Iron Galaxy have released update 1.0.4.0 for The Last of Us Part 1 on PC, promising increased CPU and GPU performance throughout the game thanks to new optimisations that have been made to the title.
Alongside performance optimisation, patch 1.0.4.0 also addressed a lot of bugs that were present within the game, and have dramatically increased the graphical fidelity and resolution of the game’s textures when low or medium textures are used.
We hope to test update 1.0.4.0 for The Last of Us Part 1 soon, but so far reports on the update from users are positive. We hope to write about the performance impact of this patch in detail tomorrow, after we have had some time to test it out.
