The Last of Us Remastered update improves matchmaking times, full fix coming via patch

It’s all well and good having a beautiful-looking update to one of PlayStation’s finest adventures, but fans of The Last of Us Remastered’s multiplayer have been left frustrated by the broken online experience since launch.

Well, there’s some good news today as Sony has released update 1.01.012, which according to Multiplayer Designer Quentin Cobb sounds like a part-fix of the current issues of finding and getting into the multiplayer arena.

Here’s what he had to say on the PlayStation forums:

“We’ve just pushed a live update that should improve matchmaking times. While this is a not a full fix, our update should hopefully reduce matchmaking times. We are still working on a patch which should dramatically improve matchmaking times and we’ll get into more detail about that a bit later. Also, in this live update is a fix to the Flamethrower damage. The PS4 Flamethrower should now output damage at the same speed as the PS3 Flamethrower.”

The developer says it is working as hard as it can to provide a full fix to the issues.
