The Last of Us update improves matchmaking, adds two new maps

Naughty Dog announced on the PlayStation Store that they’ve released an update for The Last of Us: Remastered that will fix the matchmaking problems and brings us two new, free, maps.

Here’s that they had to say:

Happy Thursday! We’re pushing a patch today that addresses many of the matchmaking issues taking place in Factions mode for The Last of Us Remastered. You should see improved matchmaking all around. It will be rolling out over the next 24 hours globally. Look for the update when you turn on your system today.

With that patch, as promised, we’re giving away two, brand new multiplayer maps for FREE. The first map is the Beach, an excellent map for long-range experts. The second map is Financial Plaza, which is ideal for both sniping and close quarters combat. The maps will be free for both PS3 and PS4 players. Check out these maps in our latest trailer:

Once we’ve deployed the maps, upon signing into Factions multiplayer, the store will pop up and you’ll be asked to download them for free.

If you’re super excited and want to see how quickly you can get back to playing Factions, the Maps for PS4 are roughly 291MB and the patch is about 137MB. For PS3, patch 1.09 will be approximately 170MB and the same maps are about 143MB.

Also newly available is our Scoped Weapons Bundle which can be purchased on the PlayStation Store for €2.99/£2.49 right now. And the four new weapons in the bundle are sold individually if you’re more selective about your guns. All weapons are available for The Last of Us on BOTH the PS3 and PS4.
