The Last of Us Part 2 - PS5

[Member-115369]

Yeah I think a difference this time around vs. say the Uncharted Collection or TLOU Remaster is the jump just isn't big enough to justify a paid upgrade release.

PS3/360 games needed a lot of work to improve textures etc. to really make them look good on 4KTVs. PS5/X1 games, especially ones that came out late in the generation after the PS4 Pro and X1X were out, were built around 4K and HDR already and the engines scalable to run on both those and the base consoles. Thus all that's really needed is some patches to take advantage of the extra power of the PS5/XSX to look even better.

Hard to justify charging $50 or whatever for a patch. I'm sure some will try and some point, but hope its rare and that we just continue to see things like the free upgrade patch GoW just got, the nice upgrades Gears 5 and Forza Horizon 4 got for XSX (probably the two most impressive looking games I've played so far, along with Demon's Souls) etc.
