In a video posted on Reddit by user gem-stash, the player can be seen casually riding along the choppy river that runs between the crumbling buildings inThe Last of Us Part 2. As they reach the end of the stream, which should have turned into a new area ofThe Flooded City set in Seattle, gem-stash’s journey comes to an abrupt end as they find themselves floating off the map and into the void. The river can still be seen in the background of the clip, but instead of more locations to explore filled with enemies and ruins, a vast empty space has greeted the player and turned the speedboat into a hovering airship.

What makes the 30-second video amusing is the fact that Ellie looks the part gliding around the game’s cosmos as she wears her spacesuit, which is taken from one of the most memorable scenes fromThe Last of Us 2when Joel takes Ellie to the museumfor her birthday. However, some fans in the comment section of the video believe that the spacesuit could be the reason why the bug initially occurred. User Hot_Bel_Pepper advised gem-stash not to switch their main outfit to the space outfit mid-game unless it’s from the main menu, as this could be the reason for the strange boat glitch due to a coding error.
