Uncharted Trilogy Finally Runs on PC With 120 FPS, DLSS, FSR and Frame Generation
The original Uncharted trilogy is now playable on PC through unofficial community ports, bringing 120 FPS support, modern upscaling technologies, and frame generation to 3 of PlayStation's most iconic action adventure games. Developed independently by SuperMedo and BilalReloaded, the projects allow PC players to experience Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception without using a traditional PlayStation 4 CPU emulator.
The breakthrough comes through SuperMedo's Uncharted PC project, which adapts the PlayStation 4 version of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection to Windows 10 and 11. Rather than completely emulating the console, the project executes the original x86 64 game code directly on compatible PC processors while replacing PlayStation system libraries and translating GPU commands to Vulkan through a modified shadPS4 renderer. This hybrid approach improves integration with PC hardware while retaining the original game logic.
SuperMedo's implementation supports 60 FPS and 120 FPS modes, NVIDIA DLAA, AMD FSR 3.1 and FSR 4 anti aliasing, and frame generation through AMD FSR 3 and NVIDIA DLSS. GeForce RTX 40 Series cards support DLSS Frame Generation at 2x, while compatible RTX 50 Series cards can use Multi Frame Generation up to 4x. Players also receive customizable keyboard and mouse controls, controller support, and a unified launcher capable of switching between all 3 games.
Early performance demonstrations are promising. In a gameplay video from Stargames Benchmarks, the trilogy is shown running at approximately 120 FPS at native 1440p using an AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. However, performance varies by scene, and maintaining 120 FPS is not guaranteed across every game or hardware configuration.
Uncharted PC Port Comparison
| Feature | SuperMedo | BilalReloaded |
|---|---|---|
| Supported Games | Uncharted 1, 2 and 3 | Uncharted 1, 2 and 3 |
| CPU Execution | Native x86 64 | Native x86 64 |
| Graphics Renderer | Modified shadPS4 Vulkan | Modified shadPS4 Vulkan |
| Frame Rate | 60 and 120 FPS modes | Up to 120 FPS |
| Upscaling and AA | DLAA, FSR 3.1 and FSR 4 AA | DLSS, FSR 1, FSR 3.1 and FSR 4 |
| Frame Generation | AMD FSR 3 and NVIDIA DLSS | Not listed in current documentation |
| Display Options | Resolution and graphics controls | Up to 4K output, ultrawide support |
| Status | Public beta | Public beta |
Features reflect each developer's published documentation. The 120 FPS modes remain experimental, and actual performance depends on the game and system configuration.
A separate PC port developed by BilalReloaded offers additional display options, including ultrawide aspect ratios and configurable DLSS and FSR upscaling. According to the developer's testing, Uncharted 2 reached approximately 99 FPS in a demanding 4K scene using an RTX 5080, while Uncharted 3 achieved approximately 90 FPS in the crowded Cartagena area on the same GPU. The original Drake's Fortune currently renders internally at a maximum of 2880 × 1620, with higher output resolutions achieved through upscaling.
Progress is not limited to short gameplay demonstrations. In a GitHub discussion, 2 users confirmed completing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune using RTX 4060 systems. One reported generally achieving 100 to 120 FPS at 1080p with DLAA, although larger environments reduced performance to approximately 80 FPS. Both players encountered occasional crashes, and one experienced save corruption during Chapter 11.
SuperMedo's latest public release, version 0.3.6, addresses several technical problems, including a crash during Uncharted 2's train sequence, graphical corruption, and compatibility with older AMD FX processors. Nevertheless, shader compilation stutters, occasional rendering artifacts, and game specific instability remain. Frame rates beyond 120 FPS can also interfere with character movement and gameplay physics.
Both projects require users to provide their own decrypted PlayStation 4 game files, as neither distributes copyrighted game assets. They are also entirely unofficial and have no affiliation with Sony Interactive Entertainment, Naughty Dog, or Bluepoint Games.
Sony officially released Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection for PC in 2022, bringing Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and The Lost Legacy to the platform. However, the original trilogy remained absent from the PC catalog, even as PlayStation's broader PC publishing strategy continued evolving.
These community projects now offer an alternative for players interested in experiencing Nathan Drake's earliest adventures with modern PC features, although further development is required before they can match the reliability of an official release.
Bringing the original Uncharted trilogy to PC is a significant achievement for game preservation, particularly because the projects execute the original game code directly rather than relying entirely on conventional console emulation.
The integration of modern anti aliasing, frame generation, higher resolutions, and customizable controls also demonstrates how community developers can expand the capabilities of older console games without rebuilding them from scratch.
However, the most important milestone is not achieving 120 FPS. It is making the complete campaigns consistently playable. User reports confirming that Drake's Fortune can be finished are encouraging, but crashes and save corruption show that further compatibility work is necessary.
With all 3 games now running on Windows, these projects could eventually provide PC players with access to the entire Nathan Drake saga, something Sony has yet to deliver officially.
Would you replay the original Uncharted trilogy at 120 FPS with DLSS and frame generation, or would you rather see Sony release an official remastered collection for PC?
