Naughty Dog has released Patch 2.0.1 for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PlayStation 5, addressing a critical issue introduced by the previous update. The problem caused players to lose progress on campaign unlockables, including skill points and an additional weapon holster. This fix coincides with the game's highly anticipated PC debut on April 3, 2025, which has been met with widespread acclaim.

Patch 2.0.0, released alongside the PC version, introduced exciting new content such as fresh No Return characters, maps, and trophies. However, it also inadvertently reset players' unlockable progress. Naughty Dog swiftly acknowledged the issue, advising users not to overwrite their save files until a solution arrived. Patch 2.0.1 now restores these items—but only if players load a save created before April 3. Those who saved after this date may still face permanent losses.

Unlike The Last of Us Part 1's rocky PC debut in 2023, the remastered sequel has enjoyed a smoother rollout. At launch, it garnered a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam from over 4,900 players. This success contrasts sharply with the original remake's performance issues, marking a redemption for Naughty Dog's PC adaptations.

Latest Game Information

The PC release strategically precedes HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 premiere on April 13. Historically, TV adaptations boost game sales—a trend likely to continue here. Fans of the show may flock to experience Ellie's harrowing journey firsthand, especially with the polished PC port now available.

Patch 2.0.1 Official Notes

• Restored Content: Reinstates campaign unlockables (e.g., weapon holster, skill points) lost post-Patch 2.0.0.
• Save Requirement: Only affects pre-April 3 saves; later saves remain unaffected.
