You can play Uncharted on PC through UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection, available on Steam and the Epic Games Store. It includes the single-player campaigns of UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End and UNCHARTED: The Lost Legacy—not the first three games. Before buying, check the current store listing and compare your PC with the published requirements below.

Which Uncharted games are on PC?

The official PC release is one collection: UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection. It packages remastered, PC-optimized single-player versions of A Thief’s End and The Lost Legacy. PlayStation named Steam and Epic Games Store as PC purchase platforms; check the Steam listing or the official PC product page for current availability and regional details.

The collection does not include the original three games and is not the UNCHARTED: The Nathan Drake Collection. In an October 2022 article, Naughty Dog explained that bringing the PS3-era titles to PC would require a major visual overhaul. The studio also said newcomers could start with the two included adventures. As Naughty Dog vice president Christian Gyrling put it, “The Uncharted franchise comprises standalone adventures that players new and old can jump into.”

This PC collection is single-player; it does not include the multiplayer mode from Uncharted 4. See Gyrling’s explanation of the PC collection.

Uncharted PC requirements and performance targets

The table combines the requirements on Steam with the four performance tiers published by PlayStation and Naughty Dog at launch in 2022. Targets describe the publisher’s intended configurations, not a guarantee for every PC or independent benchmark results.

Tier Published target CPU GPU RAM OS Storage
Minimum 30 FPS at 720p, medium settings Intel i5-4330 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 NVIDIA GTX 960 (4 GB) or AMD R9 290X (4 GB) 8 GB minimum; 16 GB recommended in the launch table Windows 10 64-bit 126 GB on HDD; SSD recommended
Recommended 30 FPS at 1080p, high settings Intel i7-4770 or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6 GB) or AMD RX 570 (4 GB) 16 GB Windows 10 64-bit 126 GB on SSD
Performance 60 FPS at 1440p, high settings Intel i7-7700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X NVIDIA RTX 2070 (8 GB) or AMD RX 5700 XT (8 GB) 16 GB Windows 10 64-bit 126 GB on SSD
Ultra 60 FPS at 4K, ultra settings Intel i9-9900K or AMD Ryzen 9 3950X NVIDIA RTX 3080 (10 GB) or AMD RX 6800 (16 GB) 16 GB Windows 10 64-bit 126 GB on SSD

Steam lists DirectX 12 and 126 GB of available space for both its minimum and recommended configurations. The publisher recommends an SSD even at minimum, and specifies SSD storage for its higher tiers. If your hardware sits between tiers, do not assume it will hit a particular resolution or frame rate; consult the current Steam requirements before purchase.

How to prepare and install the PC version

  1. Choose a storefront. PlayStation identifies Steam and Epic Games Store as PC storefronts. Check your preferred store’s current listing for regional availability and the offer shown to you.
  2. Check Windows and hardware. The published specifications list Windows 10 64-bit. Compare your processor, graphics card and its VRAM, and system memory with the tier that matches your resolution and frame-rate aims. The minimum tier is a baseline, not a promise of high-resolution performance.
  3. Make room for the game. Set aside 126 GB of free space. An SSD is recommended by the publisher’s launch specifications.
  4. Buy and install through your chosen store. Use that storefront’s installation flow; the official sources cited here do not specify current launcher screens or step-by-step UI labels.
  5. Choose your controls. Keyboard and mouse are supported, as are supported gamepads. A controller is optional.

Controls and PC features

The publisher announced keyboard-and-mouse support, DualShock 4 support, and compatibility with a wide range of other gamepads. PC options include full control remapping, controller icon locking, and settings to ignore particular input devices. Actual compatibility can depend on the device and configuration, so check current store or vendor support if a controller is not recognized.

DualSense is another optional choice. PlayStation announced haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for a wired PC connection; the announcement does not establish that these features work wirelessly. Other announced PC features include AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2, configurable settings for textures, models, anisotropic filtering, shadows, reflections and ambient occlusion, plus 4K and ultrawide display support. Those display options still depend on compatible hardware and monitors. Details are in the PlayStation PC launch announcement.
