Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is the weakest-performing PC port that PlayStation has released so far, according to numbers derived from SteamDB. The collection, which comprises remastered versions of Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy games, has only managed an all-time peak of 10,851 players at the time of this posting, a number that pales in comparison to titles such as Horizon Zero Dawn, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and God of War. Even Days Gone, which was previously in last place, had an all-time peak of 27,450, more than double that of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which reportedly suffers from various technical issues.
Naughty Dog has hinted that older Uncharted games won’t be heading to PC and will remain exclusive to PlayStation consoles:
The Uncharted franchise comprises standalone adventures that players new and old can jump into, and so while there’s still incredible stories and character development in those first three games, we felt players could easily dive into Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and pick up Nathan, Elena, and Sully’s stories
With the introduction of new characters like Sam Drake, Rafe Adler, and Nadine Ross, A Thief’s End offers so much to players regardless of their history getting into and out of trouble as Nathan Drake. And Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, which is also included in the collection, offers a new playable protagonist in Chloe Frazer. Fans who know the original trilogy will be delighted to see her return, but newcomers will have no trouble understanding her wonderful story by starting with the collection.
And so, these two games… felt like perfect candidates to introduce the franchise, and Naughty Dog, to modern PC players.”

It's like the movie didn't do so great but they figured.. screw it maybe the video game will.
I was a fan of Amy Hennig's Uncharted 1-3. Why the f*ck aren't those on PC? I borrowed Niel Druckmann's (guy behind TLoU) Uncharted 4 on PS4, played it, didn't care for it at all. Lost Legacy was pretty good (got it on PS4 for 10 bucks), way better than 4, but it was basically standalone DLC, just a little quick adventure. Would have been nice to play it on PC, but like most Sony exclusives I had no f*cking idea it would be coming to PC later. I would have really appreciated being able to play all the Uncharted games on PC, where I could aim with a dang mouse.
Anyways, Uncharted 4+LL is not what people wanted on PC. It's the first 3 games. And in light of how much better PC ports of other Sony-exclusive games have been, the low-effort barebones port 4+LL got is weaksauce. Not surprised people aren't falling over themselves to snap this up on PC. Also for those PC-only players who never got to play any of the Uncharted games but want to, why would they start at the very end, with the last game in the series plus a little spin-off?
Well I started the series with 4 and then got the 1-3 collection, and the first game is pretty terrible especially after playing 4 first.
2 and 3 were better, pretty good even, but not sure they would still hold up these days without updates.
