As a matter of fact, the reason for the visual bug is caused related to switching between framerates in game, WCCFtech reports. Moreover, according to the Digital Foundry team, the game doesn't hold up at 60 frames per second. It discovered some noticeable drops in frame while running " The Last of Us" remastered in its 60FPS mode at 1800P.
In comparison, the standard PS4 was able to handle the game at 60FPS perfectly fine at 1800P. The takeaway is that even with an upgraded GPU, trying to run 60FPS consistently at 1800P is too much for Pro to handle, and the game suffers because of it.
Does this mean that "The Last of Us" remastered isn't still advisable to play on PS4 Pro? There could be a solution. Stay tuned to Gamenguide for more "Last of Us 2" updates.
