The Last of Us Remastered has had issue with matchmaking recently and while Naughty Dog is working hard to make improvements on it, they felt that they needed to do something more than simply fix it.
As a way to apologize to the multiplayer community, Naughty Dog is giving away some new multiplayer maps for free.
Their exact statement was this:
“At the end of July, we teased some new multiplayer add-on content which included a glimpse at new maps for Factions. We’re glad to say that we’ve decided to release these two maps for free on both the PS3 and PS4 in appreciation for all of your continued patience as we work to resolve the matchmaking issues.”
The fix date wasn't included, but the free maps should help soften the blow from the matchmaking issues.
