The PS4-exclusive Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End has received a pair of title updates over the past couple of days.
Patch 1.16 and 1.17 both bring a number of multiplayer fixes and balancing changes, while the latter also fixes an issue with the game’s recently-added HDR support.
In related news, developer Naughty Dog confirmed that Uncharted 4’s next beta test period, which gives players access to try out its new multiplayer classic mode, will now take place this coming weekend – a week later than originally intended due to a progression issue, which has now been patched. Classic mode essentially strips back online play to the point where its matches resembles those of the popular Uncharted 2.
The full patch notes for each update can be found below:
