A bug in The Last of Us Part 2 has led to a comical and unexpected moment in the game where the character Abby stands frozen in a T-pose during a tense scene. The bug appears to be present in various instances and not limited to a specific scene, as other players have encountered similar situations. While the T-pose bug briefly interrupts an intense moment, Abby returns to her normal animation before the ambush takes place.
The clip, shared by a surprised player on Reddit under the username Reallyslowmow, offers a humorous twist to the game’s dark narrative. The bug occurs during a pivotal story moment when Abby and Mel are conversing in the back of a truck just before they are ambushed. In the clip, Abby is seen frozen in a T-pose, with her arms outstretched and an emotionless expression on her face, while the conversation continues as if nothing unusual is happening.

T-posing is a term used in animation to refer to the default pose used by animators as a starting point for more complex movements. Bugs and glitches are common in video games, and it seems that some players have encountered this particular glitch in the same scene. According to comments on the video, Abby returns to her standard animation once the ambush sequence begins.
There have been rumours circulating about a potential PS5 version of The Last of Us Part 2, although no official confirmation has been provided by the game’s developer, Naughty Dog. If such a version were to be released, it’s possible that the T-pose bug and other glitches could be addressed. However, some players might find the bug’s comedic value appealing and hope that it remains in the game in some form.
