Sony’s PC strategy has evolved. Initially, they released old exclusives to entice PC players to buy a PlayStation. Now, they release live-service games (like Helldivers 2 ) day-and-date. For single-player blockbusters, the window is shrinking. Spider-Man 2 arrived on PC roughly 16 months after PS5. Horizon Forbidden West took about 14 months.
So keep your PC drivers updated, clear some SSD space, and watch the horizon. Because somewhere in the game development jungles of California and San Diego, a team is probably building the next great adventure.
If the rumors are true, here is what PC players could expect:
Rumors suggest a second unannounced project is in development at Naughty Dog, led by Shaun Escayg , who directed Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Research Teasers: uncharted 5 for pc
On console, Uncharted 4 is locked to PS4 and PS5. On PC, properly ported, Uncharted 5 could be played for a decade. PC players revisit Skyrim , The Witcher 3 , and Half-Life 2 for years because of mods and performance improvements. Uncharted 5 could become that kind of evergreen title.
Stay tuned for more updates as we follow the leaks.
Expect full support for NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR to push frame rates beyond the 120 FPS limit seen on consoles. Sony’s PC strategy has evolved
Many PC players use wide-screen monitors, and a PC release of Uncharted 5 would likely include support for these displays.
As of this writing, neither Sony nor Naughty Dog has officially confirmed Uncharted 5 . The reported leaks are just whispers. However, the tea leaves are clear: Uncharted is too valuable a brand to leave in the museum. With a successful PC port of Legacy of Thieves behind us and a new internal studio likely working on the next chapter, a PC release for Uncharted 5 is not a matter of if , but when .
Launching Uncharted 5 on PC simultaneously would be a paradigm shift. It would signal that Sony no longer views PC as a "secondary" market. It would also solve one of Uncharted ’s biggest problems: longevity. For single-player blockbusters, the window is shrinking
By the time Uncharted 5 launches (speculated for late 2026 or 2027), the PC market will be too large to ignore. According to Steam’s hardware surveys, millions of RTX 3060, 3070, and 4070 cards are in the wild—cards that can easily handle ray tracing and high-fidelity textures.
If the next installment follows the technical blueprint of the current PC ports, players can expect a masterclass in optimization and visual fidelity.
To understand the future, we must look at the present. For a long time, Uncharted was the "Holy Grail" for PC gamers—a franchise locked behind console exclusivity. That wall began to crumble with the release of the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection on PC in October 2022.
