Naughty Dog has become a name synonymous with PlayStation games. Their partnership with Sony goes as far back as the original PlayStation with Crash Bandicoot. The studio has been putting out quality games such as the Uncharted series, The Last of Us franchise, and the Jak & Daxter games.
Uncharted and The Last of Us are the two big names that have been popping up with the last-gen and current-gen consoles. While The Last of Us Part 2 received a mixed response, the Uncharted series has been a fan favorite.
So, it came as no surprise that Naughty Dog was going to release the final two games of the franchise in a remastered collection, titled Uncharted: The Legacy of Thieves Collection. The collection will include Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and will be released on January 28th, and Naughty Dog has released a new trailer for the game ahead of its launch.
The remastered collection will only be coming to the PlayStation consoles this month, and the PC version of the same should be out sometime this year. A PlayStation blog stated,
When we collectively look at the arc of how we at Naughty Dog developed the Uncharted series over the years, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy are truly special for so many reasons.

The blog further elaborates on this reason,
For example, U4 helped us achieve a substantial improvement in almost every aspect of our animation. Our richly detailed cinematics were now able to play in real-time, which helped pave the way for a seamless experience to and from gameplay. We also layered physics and procedural animations into our animations. All this helped create believable characters, tighter responsiveness, fluidity, and ability to respond to their environment, leading to a groundbreaking moment.

The PlayStation 5 version of the games will feature three different modes, depending on the kind of gameplay you would like to experience,
- Fidelity Mode: 4K and 30FPS
- Performance Mode: 60FPS
- Performance Plus Mode: 1080p 120FPS
“Near-instant” load times have also been promised, along with Spatial 3D audio enhancements for compatible speakers. Players who own either of the two games will be able to upgrade to the PS5 version for £10/$10. Only those who have the disc version of the game and the digital-only version of the PlayStation 5 will not be able to use this upgrade.
