The Uncharted series makes its debut on PC today with the port of the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, but it sounds like the remastered collection is only the beginning for Naughty Dog titles on the personal computer. While the PS5 remains the studio's "primary platform", it will now always consider a PC version to go alongside its future games, such as The Last of Us Multiplayer.
Speaking on the PlayStation Blog, Naughty Dog vice president Christian Gyrling shares a deep dive into the production of the PC ports of the Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and The Lost Legacy remasters. Teaming up with Iron Galaxy, the developer found another company it could trust "would deliver a high-quality version of these two Uncharted games, and with whom we could work closely to better understand PC development while internally staying focused on current and future projects and bringing them to PC as well".
Gryling adds: "While PlayStation 5 remains our primary platform, we saw the possibility of bringing our games to PC as a great chance to reach a new massive, worldwide audience." This PC release is seen as a "transformative pivot point" for Naughty Dog, allowing it to bring upcoming titles to a wider audience. It says it has "set the stage for Naughty Dog to deliver high-quality games on PlayStation 5, with the option of a PC release as well, with an understanding of how to cater to the different needs of both audiences now and in the future".
None of this should come as surprise to the PlayStation faithful, as Sony ports more of its back catalogue to PC. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is ready to web-sling to the platform next month, and The Last of Us: Part I will join it in the future. PlayStation Studios boss Hermen Hulst has already said the company's upcoming live service games will likely launch on PC and PlayStation consoles "day and date" with each other, and The Last of Us Multiplayer is a very probable candidate for that. As for single player experiences, there'll be "at least" a year between the PS5, PS4 and PC versions releasing.

I’d like some info on the last of us multiplayer, we haven’t heard anything in a very long time
@Boucho11 It was said back in June that the next info is coming next year.
@Grumblevolcano @Boucho11 Probably some time around the HBO show, that would be my guess
@Grumblevolcano I musta missed that!
Seems like PlayStation’s primary platform these days is:
1. TV
2. PC
3. Film
4. PS4
5. PS5
So are they referring to future re-release cash grabs done nearly entirely by support sudios?
Or are they going to work on and actually release new content anytime soon aside from a multi-player component from a 2 year old game that they have delayed to Make it another cross gen full Live service scheme?
@Boucho11 I would like some info from Sony about any of their first party games.
@Boucho11 Druckmann said that on Keighley’s show when they officially revealed TLOU remake. They showed a piece of concept art too but that’s it.
Just make all PlayStation exclusives day one on PC and stop with this nonsense about how PS5 is a “priority”. We can clearly see it’s not whatsoever.
PS5 isnt even worse than ps3 at this point , its not even a contender .
@Grumblevolcano damn thats sad
@KundaliniRising333 they have tlou2 before anything new
@Voltan I was thinking perhaps TLoU Part 1 PC release being around December/January and then next Factions 2 news around a few months later. As Factions 2 is live service, it would release same day on PC and so Sony would probably want to keep some distance between TLoU Part 1 PC release and Factions 2 news.
Big PS single player exclusives go to PC 18, 24 or 36 months after Playstation or 12 months minimum I think Herman Hulst said
PS exclusive online multiplayer GaaS both PS and PC day one
Makes sense to me that PS GaaS go to PC day one. At the end of the day if this is more profit to help PS fund more games or better games in the near future then so be it. If there's a genuine profit there and then and in the future it would be so stupid not to carry on doing that
@Grumblevolcano Oh I just meant some info around the time of the show
Part 1 PC coinciding with the show makes perfect sense though.
Naughty Dog has to make something I'm interested in first and that means Uncharted or possibly a new IP depending on what they come up with. I'm not sold that modern ND would do a new Uncharted any justice though.
@Gloamin all 5 ! 😂 and i agree with you ! that was no shade towards the ps3 , it was towards the crowd that likes to say the ps3 was the “dark ages” or some ***** . i love the (OG) ps3 , the ps3 was dope , it’s personally my favorite playstation console and console generation. 7th gen was a banger .
Every game made going forward will be created factoring in lower tier pc tech, like HDDs. The PS5 will NEVER be fully utilized.
It is what it is.
Can we talk about the fact that Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection is 124GB x-x
@AverageGamer nah .
Gd-it, gonna need more storage for Steamdeck now...
@OmegaStriver No. The games are made for PS5 and then ported over. The fact that a lot of their ports have actually been better on PC than the PS5 also shows that this won't be the case. Also, PC games over time start having higher and higher minimum system requirements, so it's not like the developers keep making games for low end hardware. That's why some people don't want to do PC gaming because your PC will be outdated eventually.
I'd think the smart thing to do would be to develop new games for both pc & ps5 at the same time & then just sit on the pc version for a while lol
@KilloWertz I downloaded a plague tale reqium on my crappy old pc to test if it would work & it actually runs pretty well (on low settings) lol
Well they're not off to a great start. Instead of the trilogy for people on pc who never played uncharted, they stuck them on the last one with zero context of the originals.
Also it would be great if they started releasing their games day one for ps5/pc.
@KilloWertz
I do think Sony should mandate minimum SSD speeds of 5.5 gigs per second for their games.
That way the PS5’s hardware can be taken advantage of during development. As of now, all of their games still support slow HDDs.
@OrtadragoonX Yes, they do support slower HDDs when they are cross gen, but the PlayStation Studios developers still take advantage of the PS5's SSD. Several of their games load nearly instantly. I actually can't think of one that has lengthy load times.
More the merrier, always thrilled to see my PC gamer friends finally getting to try out some classic PS4 & PS5 games.
One of the reasons I bought a PlayStation 4 was to play all the exclusives they created whilst I primarily gamed on my PC.
Still, this is excellent news, if only for the continued success of these series.
too bloody right i wana see the rest of uncharted, fall of man and metal gears also killzone on pc cant wait
