Last of Us Part 1 patches add HBO shirts on PS5, hotfix on PC

The last of us part 1 on PlayStation 5, Ellie got some fun crossover-themed cosmetics, but perhaps more importantly, a hotfix for the PC version arrived the same day, fixing one of the many issues players have been dealing with since the launch of that version a month ago.

First, the hotfix; version 1.0.2.1 for Windows PC “includes a much-requested improvement to the camera jitter experienced by players using mouse and keyboard,” Naughty Dog wrote. in the patch notes. This patch became available Tuesday afternoon.

There are six big problems still known and under investigation, the studio said, most of which relate to graphics performance (and two of which relate to shaders, which caused incredible latency when players’ CPUs compiled them). So the hotfix barely cures what was an admittedly bad launch, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Now for the fun stuff: Patch 1.03, which also launched on Tuesday, puts “new HBO in-game t-shirt cosmetics for Ellie.” A tweet Naughty Dog sent announcing the patch showed her wearing a T-shirt from The wire. It is clear that this is a celebration of TLOU‘s highly successful first season on the network, which just ended on March 12.

But wait, there’s more: Ellie also has access to one Mortal Kombat 2 shirt, referring to the charming flashback scene (and the fan-service adaptation in the show) of The last of us: left behind (which is included in The last of us part 1the current-gen re-release released on PS5 in September).

The Mortal Kombat 2 shirt isn’t mentioned in the patch notes, so it’s not clear if this and The wire are the only two HBO tie-ins; remember that Mortal Kombat is owned by Warner Bros., which owns HBO.
