Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection — out Friday on PS5 and later in 2022 on PC — brings the acclaimed action-adventure franchise to its third successive generation of PlayStation consoles. Having begun life in the late aughts as a PS3 exclusive before delivering four titles in total in the span of four years (including one for the handheld PS Vita), the Uncharted series finished in style with its fourth and final mainline entry — Uncharted 4: A Thief's End — on the PS4 some five-and-a-half years ago. Except a year later, what was meant as Uncharted 4 DLC became the one-and-done spin-off Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, released as a standalone expansion.

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection only features the single-player campaign portions from both Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. For those looking to dive into Uncharted's multiplayer side of things on their flashy new PlayStation 5, well you're out of luck. Naturally, that also means no co-op survival mode in Uncharted 4. All you can do with Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is experience Nathan, Sam, and Sully's adventures from Scotland to Madagascar as they chase a pirate fortune, and Chloe and Nadine's journey across south-west coastal India in and around the Western Ghats as they look for a Ganesh artefact.

And in that regard, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is (obviously) the best way to experience both Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (Review) and
