Uncharted, as a franchise, has been tied to the PlayStation brand and is undeniably one of the most popular exclusive console games in history, or at least it has been. Sony delivered a rather pleasant surprise when they announced the release of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, consisting of Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy, on PC.
Previously exclusive console games, in addition to the fantastic single-player campaign, also had a rather fun multiplayer component. Curiously, according to the game’s ERSB rating, it looks like the PC and PS5 versions of Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy may not have a multiplayer component. This is due to the ERSB classification that titles do not contain “interactive elements”.
Uncharted: A Thief’s Legacy: No “Interactive Elements”
“Interactive elements”generally refers to online features that allow users to interact and communicate with each other. The lack of multiplayer might not seem like a huge loss, but given how incredibly addicting and underrated the game mode is, PC players might want to try it out for themselves.
The multiplayer component also featured a co-op survival mode that was quite popular in the Uncharted community, and for good reason. Sony hasn’t officially confirmed the removal of the multiplayer component, so it’s still unclear why this mode was removed from the PC and PS5 versions of the game.
In its current form, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves on PS5 is currently scheduled to release in early 2022, with a PC version coming a bit later. The PlayStation move to PC is largely seen as a positive, as console exclusivity is becoming increasingly rare in this console cycle, and it will be interesting to see what other games from third-party developers make the jump to PC soon.
