PlayStation 4 owners of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End or Uncharted: The Lost Legacy qualify to upgrade their games to the complete PlayStation 5's Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection at a discounted price. The upgrade price will cost players $10 in the US, $15 in Canada, and £10 in the UK. For clarification, this discount applies to owners of either or both A Thief's End or The Lost Legacy, meaning that players only need to own one of the games to receive the special offer.
As a result of the collection's release, Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy will no longer be available as standalone purchases on the PlayStation 4 storefront. Players who previously owned neither of the titles can now only buy them via purchasing the Legacy of Thieves Collection edition. Another critical detail to note is that owners of Uncharted 4 through the subscription-based PS Plus service will not be able to upgrade their game to the PS5 version for the $10 bargain. Instead, they will need to visit a retail or online store and purchase Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection.
To upgrade Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves from PS4 to PS5, players need to open the PlayStation Store on their console and look for the game. It may appear under the trending or "Must See" section, but if it does not, players can use the search tool to find the PS5 version of Uncharted 4. On the game's store page, players can see the option to buy the $10 upgrade. However, if a different price is showing up, players can select the ellipsis to choose the right edition or pick the picture on the right of the screen with the "PS5 Upgrade" on it.
Those who own a physical copy of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End or Uncharted: The Lost Legacy will need to perform the extra step of putting their disc into their PS5 before searching for the upgrade on the store. According to an official PlayStation blog post, "Owners of PS4 disc copies must insert them into the PS5 every time they want to download or play the PS5 digital versions" of the Legacy of Thieves release.
On the other hand, disc owners who have the Digital Edition Console of the PlayStation 5 are at a disadvantage, as they must digitally own Uncharted 4 to acquire the discounted upgrade. As Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy are no longer available, these players must buy the Collection edition to play on their Digital Edition PS5.
Uncharted: The Legacy Of Thieves Collection is currently available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
