1. To start off, you should check to see if you have Game Mode or Game Optimizer Mode enabled on your TV or monitor. These picture settings will reduce latency when it comes to playing games like The Last of Us Part II Remastered.

From there, make sure that Rendering Mode is set to Performance. If possible, you should also enable Unlocked Framerate.

3. You may also want to consider plugging in the DualSense to the USB port of your PS5 as doing so should also help lower the input lag.

If you decide to use a wired connection, go to the PS5’s Settings menu and then select Accessories > Controller (General) > Communication Method > Use USB Cable.

4. If the aiming still does not feel responsive, open the pause menu in the game and then select Options > Controls. Afterwards, scroll down to the Camera Sensitivity section. You should be able to adjust the following settings:

• Look Sensitivity X
• Look Sensitivity Y

• Aiming Sensitivity Y

• Aiming Ramp Power Scale

Test out each of these and then re-adjust, if necessary, until the aiming feels perfect.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered may appear to be overly bright in some scenes while extremely dark in others. To see how you can potentially fix the HDR and brightness issues in this game, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, you can try re-calibrating the HDR brightness output of your PS5.

In order to do so, open the console’s Settings menu and then go to Screen and Video > Video Output > Adjust HDR. The instructions on the screen will walk you through the calibration.

2. If the brightness still looks off, then you can try changing the in-game brightness settings.

4. You can also use the settings of your screen to adjust the contrast and brightness levels.
