Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection collects the first three entries in Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series in a new package optimized for the PlayStation 4. Featured games boast improved texture detail and a 1080p presentation that maintains a consistent 60 frames-per-second throughout.

The collection also adds new unlockable trophies and a Photo Mode, allowing players to capture memorable moments from throughout the franchise.

Early adopters who pre-order Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection will receive the digital “Nathan Drake Pack,” which offers in-game perks like alternate character outfits and new weapon skins. The pre-order package also includes an exclusive PlayStation 4 system theme.

While few details regarding the upcoming Uncharted 4 beta test have been announced, Sony notes that playable maps and modes will be announced in the weeks leading up to the release of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection.

Originally released for the PlayStation 3 in 2007, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune set high standards for cinematic third-person shooter gameplay on Sony’s seventh-generation console. A sequel, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves introduced a multiplayer mode in 2009, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception wrapped up the trilogy in 2011. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection includes the single-player campaigns from all three games, along with a large quantity of associated downloadable content released throughout the last several years.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection premieres on October 9. The Uncharted 4 multiplayer beta test kicks off on December 4, and extends through December 13. A demo version of The Nathan Drake Collection will hit the PlayStation Network on September 29.

The best split-screen PS4 games
It Takes Two

There was a time when there was no other option for playing games with your friends besides plugging a second controller into your console and loading up a game with a split-screen mode. In modern times, thanks to video games taking advantage of the internet to allow for more players to come together, even across continents, split-screen play has slowly become phased out of most titles. Even PS4 games where multiplayer, co-op, or competitive is the primary focus are no longer guaranteed to let two players on the same console play together.

Whether it's due to technical limitations or trying to bring people into their online ecosystems to sell micro-transactions, split-screen gaming on the PlayStation 4 isn't always easy to do. But that doesn't mean every developer has given up on the old tradition of getting together with your friends for a glorious multiplayer session.
