An im­por­tant up­grade pro­gramme is planned for the col­li­ma­tion sys­tem of the CERN Large Hadron Col­lider (LHC) in order to meet the chal­lenges of the up­com­ing High-Lu­mi­nos­ity LHC (HL-LHC) pro­ject. A first stage of the HL-LHC up­grade was al­ready de­ployed dur­ing the last LHC Long Shut­down, of­fer­ing im­por­tant im­prove­ments of the col­li­ma­tion clean­ing, a sig­nif­i­cant re­duc­tion of the im­ped­ance con­tri­bu­tion and bet­ter clean­ing of col­li­sional de­bris, in par­tic­u­lar for ion-ion col­li­sions. This up­grade pro­vides a crit­i­cal op­por­tu­nity to ex­plore the LHC in­ten­sity lim­its dur­ing the LHC Run 3 and can pro­vide cru­cial feed­back to re­fine up­grade plans and op­er­a­tional sce­nar­ios in the HL-LHC era. This paper de­scribes the per­for­mance of the up­graded LHC col­li­ma­tion sys­tem that has al­ready en­abled stored-beam en­er­gies larger than 400 MJ at the un­prece­dented beam en­ergy of 6.8 TeV, and re­views fur­ther up­grade plans en­vis­aged to reach 700 MJ beams at the HL-LHC.
