Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Goes Free to Play

After a few months of dropping hints our secret is ready to be made public. We are fortunate to have some of the most devoted and amazing fans in gaming. We want to introduce those fans and the world of Uncharted multiplayer to everyone possible. And we want every person who plays our multiplayer game to engage with it how they best see fit. It’s time to go big and grow our community even more. We’re thrilled to announce that today (tomorrow in Europe) is the day that Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Multiplayer goes Free-to-Play!

To date over 3.5 million people have played in over 37 million matches of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Multiplayer. All Free-to-Play players will become a part of this same player pool of over a half a million passionate players actively playing our game every month. So if you haven’t tried yet, you have no excuse to not be playing one of the most exciting multiplayer experiences on the PS3, it’s free! Join the adventure today!

Once you download the Free-to-Play game from the PS Store you can hop online and play for as long as you want, as much as you want, up to Level 15. Upon reaching level 15, you’re welcome to continue to play as long as you want without paying a cent. Unlocking the level cap will allow you to continue building up your profile right from where the level 15 cap stops you. If you choose not unlock the level cap or purchase anything you’ll be missing out on a slew of cool in-game items and downloadable content we have made for the game to date. Here’s a rundown of what you can unlock.

If you’re really enjoying the Uncharted 3: Multiplayer Free to Play and are looking for the full Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception experience, the best deal is to pick up the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Game of the Year Edition from the in-game store, which also launches today. This digital version of the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Game of the Year Edition includes all 12 DLC maps, all Co-Op multiplayer modes, and over 40 character skins. Purchase the digital version of the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Game of the Year and essentially you’re getting the single player game free!

If you already own Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception and you are a long time Multiplayer participant we’re giving you some very special gifts as a way of saying thank you. Next time you log in online you’ll see a custom Naughty Dog Paw on your rank icon and you’ll receive the Naughty Dog Paw shirt for your custom characters.

Also, to celebrate the launch of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Multiplayer Free-to-Play we’re getting more colorful. Every character item and every character skin in multiplayer will now have more color options. These new color options are completely free. 

During the coming months over 40 additional DLC items will be made available. Every DLC drop will have a theme and we’ll be unveiling that content here on the Naughty Dog Blog, over on the PlayStation Blog, and on our Free-to-Play webpage.

We can’t wait to welcome all the new players into our community. Happy Fortune hunting! See you online!
