The Multiplayer team here at Naughty Dog wants to extend our sincerest thanks to everyone who participated in the Uncharted 4 Multiplayer Beta this past December. It was really productive for us, and we’ve been poring over all the data and feedback we received from the Beta.

But we’re not done yet!

We need your help to do all we can to have a smooth launch of our online Multiplayer mode. We will be hosting a Multiplayer Stress Test this weekend where the goal is to get as many people as possible playing in the Uncharted 4 Multiplayer mode to test our networking, our matchmaking, and more.

Uncharted 4 Multiplayer Stress Test

Start: March 4th, 2016, at 9:00 AM Pacific

March 4th, 2016, at 9:00 AM Pacific End: March 6th, 2016, at 11:59 PM Pacific

Please help us create the best multiplayer experience possible and participate in the stress test before launch. Also, and this is important because we want as many people playing as possible, a PlayStation Plus subscription is not required to participate.

The Uncharted 4 Multiplayer Stress Test client will be available later today on PlayStation Store so you can preload the Stress Test and jump straight into Multiplayer as soon as the servers go live this Friday! Please understand that this is strictly a stress test and by no means represents what the final multiplayer experience is going to be — we still have a lot to share between this stress test and launch.

If you are unfamiliar with Uncharted 4 Multiplayer, or want a refresher about some of our features, be sure to head over to our Multiplayer FAQ for more info on how to get started.

Join us on our Twitch channel on Friday, March 4th, at 11:30 AM Pacific and 5:00 PM Pacific as we’ll be hosting a couple of streams that day with some special guests!

Download the Uncharted 4 Multiplayer Stress Test from PlayStation Store later today, and we’ll see you online in a few days!
