Following a continuous string of PlayStation-exclusive games being ported to the PC family of devices, Sony announced that 'Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves' will be available on PC via the Steam store in October, 2022.
Uncharted is a popular action-adventure series that follows a treasure hunter, Nathan Drake, and his comrades as they try to hunt down a variety of myths, ancient civilizations, and other treasure-filled locales. The story began as a simple treasure hunting plot in Uncharted 1, and grew to massive proportions with government agencies, militaries, and high-octane action getting involved by the end of Uncharted 4.
Fans will be able to experience the entire Uncharted series through the Legacy of Thieves collection with smoother framerates, higher resolutions, and new input devices when the game drops on Steam.
