Uncharted 4 Stress Test Runs This Weekend, Download The Client Now
Naughty Dog is asking for some of your time this weekend. The studio is putting the Uncharted 4 multiplayer servers through their paces in an open beta.
Servers will go live on Friday, March 4. You’ve got until Sunday, March 6 to play three different maps.
There will be a variety of modes in the final game, but Team Deathmatch is the only one available during the stress test. Uncharted 4 will be out for PlayStation 4 on April 26.
You can download the stress test client on the PlayStation Store. Read more about Uncharted 4 in our February 2015 issue.
Our Take
With online games regularly falling apart on day one, stress testing the servers seems like a pretty good idea. While Uncharted’s multiplayer certainly hasn’t been the main attraction in past installments, a smooth launch means players will be talking about the game itself and not technical snafus.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
