Fans can now change the Dynamic Lights Quality setting from the graphics menu.

Further improvements have been made for players with AMD hardware. Also, specific enhancements to the Epic Games Store and Steam game versions. Changes made to the game while playing on Steam Deck have also been highlighted. Namely, Naughty Dog has confirmed that The Last of Us Part I is now “Steam Deck Verified”.

Overall, this update appears to include several significant changes to improve the user experience when playing The Last of Us Part 1 on PC.
