The Last Patch Loading Times Reduced by Over 70% on PS4 for “The Last of Us Remastered”

October 25, 2020

Only a few weeks to new consoles. Both PS5 and Xbox Series X will have much faster load times. However, you don’t need a new console to experience loading speeds after The Last of Us Remastered update on PS4. Now, loading the game from a save takes as little as 14 seconds.

The 1.11 patch for The Last of Remastered, spotted by Last of Us speed runner Anthony Calabrese, shortened load times in nearly every part of the game.

Patch 1.11 of TLOU made it so loading screens are basically non-existent on PS4. This is for both ssd and hdd. Sections load in asap and I can save almost 18 seconds in the David fight. Everyone go and check. Was this the patch's intention? @Naughty_Dog @BadData_ @arnemeyer

YouTuber ElAnalistaDeBits uploaded a video comparing the pre-patch and post-patch versions of The Last of Us Remastered, and the results are truly incredible. For example, the initial loading screen before the patch took just over a minute and a half before you started the game. Now the same load sequence takes less than 14 seconds.
