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.

So, we’re thrilled to announce that tomorrow UNCHARTED 3 multiplayer goes free-to-play!

To date, over 3.5 million people have played in over 37 million matches of UNCHARTED 3 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 penny. 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 to 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.

Also, to celebrate the launch of UNCHARTED 3 multiplayer free-to-play we’re getting more colourful. Every character item and every character skin in multiplayer will now have more colour options. These new colour 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 PlayStation Blog, over on the Naughty Dog Blog, and on our free-to-play webpage.

Patch 1.17 was released recently. It includes some big changes you can read about over on the Naughty Dog Blog. For instance, we’ve added another tier to our Tournament. It’s the Platinum level and we have some very cool permanent Platinum level prizes for people who achieve this prestigious level.
