Welcome to the second week of the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta!
We’re exceptionally excited as today is the day the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta becomes available to everyone on PSN! By the end of today, anyone and everyone with access to the PlayStation Store should be able to view and download the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta – no codes required!
As we head into the second week of the UNCHARTED 3 Beta, we’re updating the available gametypes to the following:
July 4
to
July 9Gametypes:
Team Deathmatch, Free For All, Team Objective, Hardcore, Co-op Hunter
Maps:
Airstrip, Chateau
You’ll notice Team Objective and Co-op Hunter as new additions for this week. I’ve been liking the Co-op Hunter gametype lately – the twist of adding in human players into what seems to be a Co-op mode is quite intriguing. You can catch some clips of Co-op Hunter in action in the video below, or on our YouTube channel:
Along with the update to the available gametypes, we’ve updated the video playlist for UNCHARTED TV to add one awesome fan created video. We’re always on the lookout for great fan created content – if you’ve got something in the works, drop us a line on the UNCHARTED 3 Fan Created Content forum on NaughtyDog.com.
You’ll also want to check out yesterday’s IGN article as they caught up with Robert Cogburn, our multiplayer game designer, to get a temperature check on the first week of the Beta – and what’s the deal with players leveling far beyond the level cap of 25 originally mentioned back when the Beta started. Robert also revealed the astounding 600,000 unique players that participated in the first week of the Beta – we’re looking forward to seeing that number grow quite a bit now that the Beta is available as a public download!
If you didn’t catch the patch notes last week and were wondering what was contained within the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta 1.01 patch, we’ve listed all of the updates below:

piss poor effort EUblog!!!!
Lovin this beta. SAS 12 shotgun needs to be powered up!
I’ve liked every mode up until this point…. Co-op hunter not only makes little sense when starting…. it made me feel vastely out numbered when I had to deal with dumb AI and Human opponents at the same time. I was constantly trying to pick the players out because they were a world more dangerous due to higher reasoning capability only to get shot in the back buy a randomly spawning heavy with a shotgun……
I’ll try to give this another go, but balancing really needs to be applied and something needs to be done about the mode.
Also is it just me or is the amount of money needed per level taken a sharp turn up once I hit level 24? I don’t like levels that take 800 years to reach. Fix this.
Ok ima go try to play if it Freezes again im going to be so pissed.
play it the other day and no freeze up but it did happen once only. May need to buy new PS3 and replace my PS3 Slim with new model slim. Sony you guys need to make PS3 with better design to work better called it PS3U then making PS4, with PS3U you can make it more better slim model with power brick. And add more memory ram to it like 800MB or more. This would be the time to increase the PPE to 2 or 3 and SPE to 18 or 21. And make it 22nm, if you did ur PS3U would be more powerful then the PS3 in everywhere possible.
Thanks a bunch ND! Great game so far :)
i love it its beast
But does this mean that since I didn’t get a chance to play certain game types that I can’t get those bonuses mentioned in the download info?
You’ll be able to play all of the required gametypes for the rewards – it’s only games of competitive and games of co-op, there’s no specific gametypes beyond that.
