Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection has now launched onPlayStation 5, so we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to outline exactly what newcomers can expect from the blockbuster action adventures, including how returning players can upgrade to the new PS5 version.
With all of that in mind, let’s jump straight into everything you need to know to get you started in Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection. In no time at all, you’ll be fighting off armed mercenaries and scouring the planet for the most prized treasures to ever exist.

Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy introduce the grappling hook to the series for the very first time, giving more free reign to reach new heights (both figuratively and literally). While not strictly mentioned, the player is responsible for handling momentum when swinging.
It’s a fun mechanic but does need some practice. The easiest way to know if you can make a landing is to watch for the character’s hand movement. If they reach out with their hand, this is an indicator that it’s safe to jump.
Explore everything

It may seem simple but the world of Uncharted is designed to be explored. Levels are linear, yes, but there are still many hidden sections to be uncovered. You’re a treasure hunter after all. Two particular sections specifically hold much more than they appear: Chapter 10 – The Twelve Towers in Uncharted 4 and Chapter 4 – The Western Ghats in The Lost Legacy.
Both these levels are the closest Uncharted has ever come to open world, offering lots of different areas to explore within a confide map. There’s even a full side-quest in The Lost Legacy’s where players can discover a Monkey Temple if they collect 11 tokens hidden around the location. Well worth investing time in.

While Uncharted’s stealth mechanics are not on the same level as say Metal Gear Solid 5, it still does a reasonably admirable job with what it does have. And for that reason, it should really be taken advantage of wherever possible.

The biggest of which comes in the form of The Lost Legacy’s Silenced Pistol. Very rare and very rewarding. It’s can be found in chests scattered throughout levels but only has a limited amount of ammo. Use sparingly.

The Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is available for purchase at an MSRP of $49.99 / £49.99 / A$74.95, however, if you’ve already picked up one or both of the games on PS4, you are entitled to an upgrade for a heavily reduced price.
Anyone that purchased Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, or the PS4 digital bundle that contains both can upgrade to a digital version of the new PS5 collection for $10 / £10 / A$15. This will be available from January 28, 2022 and can be done via thePlayStation Store.
PS4 disc owners will need to insert the game into their PS5 every time they wish to download or play the PS5 digital versions. This option is unfortunately not available for PS5 Digital Edition console owners, nor for anyone that claimed Uncharted 4 viaPlayStationPlus.
