Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves is coming to PC in 2022, and that much has been confirmed. It can already be wishlisted on Steam and the Epic Games Store for future purchases. The only problem is that there is no confirmed release date for the PS5 title to hit the PC storefronts.
This will be a first for the Uncharted franchise, so the timing has to be perfect. Releasing on the same day as the PlayStation 5 version could harm sales, and there may be work to do yet on the PC port.
When can this all go down?
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves' delayed release on PC is not a trend that will change any time soon. At least, according to SIE's former CEO, Shawn Layden, when speaking with What's Up PlayStation. He doesn't think that PS5 and PC ports will ever happen on the same day.
That opinion may have changed at Sony, but that was his take from his time with the company. The question of “When” is an important one, though. The right time could be the early summertime, 2022.
February 2022 will also see the launch of the Uncharted film, and it typically can take a few months for a movie to go from the movie theatre to DVD/Blu-Ray.
With that in mind, it could be expected that Uncharted will hit shelves around June or July 2022. It would be a great marketing strategy to start talking about these simultaneously, in hopes that fans of the series both buy the movie and Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves at the same time. They could be packaged together as well for more Nathan Drake action.

It could also show up just before the Summer Sale on Steam or Epic Games
