A new update numbered 1.0.2.1 has arrived for The Last of Us Part 1, and here are the bug fixes and changes that arrived with this patch. There’s no need to tell how good is The Last of Us series. We thought Naughty Dog would never fail with that series until the game’s PC release. The first game’s remake, also named The Last of Us Part 1, was optimized well on PlayStation 5. The new graphics and playability changes were worth playing it again. But things went bad on the PC, and the developers released small patches to fix the bugs. Here are the patch notes for The Last of Us Part 1 update 1.0.2.1.
The Last of Us Part 1 Update 1.0.2.1 Patch Notes
- This update includes a highly requested improvement for the camera jitter experienced by players who use a mouse and keyboard.
As you see, the only fix is the camera jitter some players see. As this is a minor update, we weren’t expecting the big changes to arrive.

Most of the bug fixes were made with the previous patch, so we can say that the game has already started offering a more stable experience even though we didn’t expect a horrible launch for The Last of Us franchise. Even the ones who finished the game multiple times were dreaming of the series’ PC debut. It’s sad seeing a troubled game from the series. The Last of Us Part 1 is available on PC and PS5.
