Both Until Dawn and The Last of Us: Remastered see loading screens all but eradicated.

A new patch has reportedly improved load times for PlayStation 4’s own games, The Last of Us: Remastered, and Until Dawn.

As our friends at VGC found out, while previously it could take over a minute for the TLOU initial loading screen to load, reports now show that the load has been reduced to just 14 seconds. Until dawn, on the other hand, has seen its loading screens almost completely eradicated.

Here’s a video from BitAnalyst showing the sea change in real time:

Other titles of their own such as God of War have also seen their loading time reduced, reportedly due to a new compression system that is believed to have been introduced in preparation for backward compatibility on Sony’s upcoming PS5 console. It has been speculated by Some that this technology may also have been used quietly in the development of Ghost of Tsushima.

With the next generation of consoles in less than a month, the various products to be sold are popping up around the world. More recently, several members of the American media revealed that they had a PlayStation 5 in tow, showing the box it came in.

As Wes reported at the time, the PS5 box is about as big as you’d expect from something that should fit the gigantic Sony console inside.
