Uncharted 4's Beta Now Live, Experiencing Issues

Get out your copy of The Nathan Drake Collection.

The closed multiplayer beta test for Uncharted 4 is now live, slightly ahead of schedule.

To access the beta, you'll need to have a PlayStation Plus membership and own a copy of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (and have save data from the game on your PS4). Provided you meet those requirements, you can download the 7 GB beta now by highlighting the game icon in the PS4 dashboard, selecting Overview, and then choosing the beta tile on the right.

The beta runs from now until December 13 and won't allow for any progress to be transferred to the full game. You'll be limited to trying a selection of multiplayer content (two maps in the team deathmatch mode)--despite what the PlayStation Store might say, there's no single-player component here, according to Naughty Dog.

More details on some of the new elements introduced in the beta are detailed on the PlayStation Blog. This includes Sidekicks (AI-controller allies) and Mysticals (basically superpowers you can find on the map).

If you're in the beta, you're encouraged to leave feedback on Naughty Dog's official beta forums. It appears issues are already surfacing with matchmaking. In a tweet, Naughty Dog said, "We're aware of the matchmaking issue / error messages. We're looking into it now and will update ASAP."

Uncharted 4's multiplayer will offer microtransactions right from the start, though Naughty Dog insists everything purchasable can be earned with in-game currency.

I was lucky enough to get 1 match yesterday and based off of that I can say it was pretty great. The movement is very smooth and the climbing mechanic is sooo much smoother now-- with the inclusion of the grapple hook too it makes it much more fun. They do need to tighten up the aiming controls though for sure.

Duh? It's has to do with Sony they need to hire a monkey to run their servers for a better network. Microsoft could show them for a trillion dollars lol it's annoying that it seems every body does micro transactions halo 5 REQ POINTS and long behold beloved Naughty Dog doing them as well suck it PS Fanboys your devs are just as greedy.

@BabeNewelll: Just get an Xbox where Microsoft offers dedicated servers to devs for free because they care unlike these morons who work for Sony.

@Lacerz: MCC doesn't cont, Halo 1-4 all had a different game engine for each game. No developer in the history of video games have combined that many games with that many different engines to be a single structural matchmaking and story experience. MIC dropes!

@PsychicKiller82: Ohhh ok. Just because the Master Chief Colllection featured several different engines, you can just ignore the obvious connection issues it had since launch. Remember the time when it was so bad that they had to cancel their own tournament.

@alaannn: access to the beta is for people who purchased the Nathan Drake Collection. This prevents people from giving away their codes...although a quick trip to Redbox would fix that.

@Lacerz: Thing gears or war level design was completely revamped and looked way better and different from the original Sony just ups the graphics and frame rate not the map design. MCC was long awaited and a fan favorite plus they will make more than just one Halo on the X1 so they want the people to catch up who haven't played. Uncharted collection is stupid when supposedly the 4th is the last one they should have waited until after the 4th for the remaster, it also doesn't contain multiplayer for all the uncharted games it is a rip off of you ask me.

@subsided94: Really? Who knew but the fact that is has to do with servers is pathetic did Halo 5 have server problems in the beta or main game no! Did Call of Duty have problems no! But a mediocre multiplayer game does! Uncharted is great and I love the series ( even though it should have been done agree the third one) is a great game story wise but the multiplayer isn't that good.

@PsychicKiller82: It has little to do with servers and more to do with bandwith because there are few players playing spread across different regions.

@ggaming72: You are correct about the network and multiplayer! Although being an Xbox fan boy I enjoy the story of uncharted just not the multiplayer, all in all it should be a good game.
