Here\u2019s how to get the PS5 version of The Last of Us Part 2.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to get the PS5 upgrade of The Last of Us Part 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no need to pay extra or go out of your way at all really to get the next-gen version of The Last of Us Part 2.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>PS5 upgrade for TLOU 2 comes in patch 1.08<\/strong>.\u00a0As long as you have the game installed on a PlayStation 5, then the next-gen patch should have downloaded automatically. You will, of course, need an internet connection.<\/p> <p>The patch is only 299MB, so should not take too long even on slower internet \u2013 it\u2019s a far cry from the 50GB updates seen from the likes of <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/how-to-download-warzone-2\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Warzone<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>You can easily check this patch is installed by pressing the Options button while TLOU 2 is selected, and then pressing \u2018Information\u2019 or \u2018Update History\u2019 and checking you are playing at least version 1.08.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can also select \u2018Check for Update\u2019 to download any remaining updates \u2013 if not, you are playing the latest version of the game and should have the PS5 patch installed.<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove\" embed=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;embed__intrinsic&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove__player\" vjs-playlist-player-container=\"\"> <video data-video-id=\"6318448990112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"&quot;default&quot;\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"&quot;video-js&quot;\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"&quot;\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js&quot;\"\/> <h2><strong>The Last of Us Part 2 PS5 upgrade differences<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The next-gen patch does not grant a full, native PS5 version of The Last of Us Part 2. Instead, you essentially get a performance boost for the backwards-compatible PS4 version.<\/p>\n<p>The main difference, however, is that you can now have the option for a frame rate target of 60 frames per second. Previously, the game was locked to 30fps when running on PS4.
