Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is a compilation that includes remastered versions of both Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, originally released on the PlayStation 4 in 2016 and 2017 respectively. These games were originally developed by Naughty Dog, with the PC port being made by Iron Galaxy Studios and published by PlayStation PC. This is the first time the Uncharted series came to PC, and is the first game developed by Naughty Dog to release on PC since Keef the Thief: A Boy and His Lockpick in 1989. The game only features slightly improved shadow resolution and filtering, anisotropic filtering and reflections compared to the PlayStation 5 release. The PC port also added support for FSR 2.1 and DLSS 2.

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection released on October 19, 2022, nine months after its release on PlayStation 5. Review copies suffered from many severe glitches and stutters, which were mostly fixed through a launch day patch. Some reviews might thus not fully reflect the technical state of the game at release. On release, the game suffered from incorrectly functioning motion blur, significantly longer loading times compared to PlayStation 5 and the Level of Detail (LoD) was found to be inconsistent at times. Its performance was well-regarded with no intrusive stutters.

The post-launch patches addressed issues regarding stability, performance, mouse input, LoD management, motion blur visibility and several bugfixes. It additionally added support for non-AVX2 supported CPU's through fallback executables.

Issues unresolved

Low shadow quality

Shadow resolution is low and results in aliased shadows in multiple scenes, even on the Ultra Shadows setting. This is noticeable throughout the entire game, particularly in Chapter 17 when the branches/leaves of the trees above the player are casting shadows on the ground in front of you. There is no word from the developers about the issue.

Video cutscenes playback at low (~30) FPS

Certain cutscenes in the game cut from real-time rendering to video file playback, before reverting back to real-time rendering. The video files used in these cutscenes are often at 24/30 FPS, which results in distracting cutscenes when playing at 60+ FPS. There is no word from the developers about the issue.

Select explosions & particle effects at low (~30) FPS

During gameplay, smoke effects from explosions will appear to playback at a lower (~30) FPS than the rest of the game if playing at 60+ FPS. There is no word from the developers about the issue.

Issues fixed

Game crashes during boot on Nvidia GeForce GTX 10 series GPU's

Game would first show a few character portraits during boot and then crash to desktop.

Download and install updated Nvidia 526.98 GPU driver or higher
