Sex Hotline Numbers Removed from The Last of Us with Patch 1.02

If you’ve been keeping up with the post-release drama of The Last of Us, then you’ve heard of the sex hotline phone numbers that were found on PEST CONTROL fliers in the game; oops! Over the weekend, Naughty Dog released Patch 1.02 to remove the sex hotline numbers that were mistakenly placed in The Last of Us.

Creative Director Neil Druckmann stated that the hotline numbers were an artist’s mistake:

“What happened was, they put some phone numbers in the game and then they thought they could just change the area code to 555, then it’s invalid because it’s what they do in movies… But I guess that doesn’t work when you have a 1-800 in front of it.”

The numbers have now been removed.

Naughty Dog also addressed some technical issues in The Last of Us Multiplayer with Patch 1.02:

      Technical

  • Host migration has been improved. Losing connection to the host during a migration should occur less often
  • General crash when leaving multiplayer fixed
  • Intro camera fix for some introductory cut-scenes
  • Connectivity issues while playing have been tuned
  • If you disconnect or lose connection to the host, you will no longer advance a clan day. You will only advance a day if you are kicked from the match, or exit through the menu

   Gameplay

  • Explosion Expert level 2 should be selectable now
  • The voting time for match selection has been reduced to 15 seconds
  •  “No party” playlist options have been added to both Supply Raid and Survivors, players can only join this playlist solo
  • Melee against a downed character now uses the same range as normal melee
