The Last of Us Remastered for the PlayStation 4 platform has just received a brand new update from developer Naughty Dog, this time improving its matchmaking system from the Factions competitive multiplayer mode.

The Last of Us appeared back in the summer of last year on the PS3 platform, delivering a thrilling experience on the old Sony home console with a stellar story, intense gameplay, and a pretty complex Factions multiplayer mode.

This summer, Naughty Dog delivered The Last of Us Remastered for the PlayStation 4 platform, upgrading the original experience with better visuals and plenty of other enhancements.

Unfortunately, the transition to the PS4 didn't go so well for the Factions online mode, with many PS4 owners reporting lengthy loading times and issues with its matchmaking system.

Naughty Dog released several updates since then and has tinkered with the matchmaking mechanic, but some issues continue to persist.

In order to fix some more, a new patch, which takes the game to version 1.04, has just been released on the PS4, via the PlayStation Network online service.

The update, according to the official website, just brings improvements to the matchmaking system. Unfortunately, the studio didn't offer any other details, so it's still unclear just what was wrong with the online mode.
