Enter RPCS3, the open-source PlayStation 3 emulator. Over the last several years, this project has achieved what many thought impossible. Uncharted 3 went from being an unplayable slideshow to a "Playable" title—a designation in the emulation community meaning the game can be finished from start to finish with no game-breaking glitches.
Playing Uncharted 3 on PC today via RPCS3 is a transformative experience, but it comes with a caveat: it requires horsepower. Unlike a native port which is optimized for a wide range of specs, emulation brute-forces the translation of code. To run Uncharted 3 at a consistent 30 or 60 frames per second, users need a modern CPU with high single-core performance ( Ryzen 5000/7000 series or Intel Core i5/i7 12th gen and up are recommended).
Verdict: Playable but tricky. Uncharted 3 runs at a shaky 30-40 FPS on low settings. For a stable experience, you must use Proton GE (GloriousEggroll) and cap the TDP to 10 watts. Expect battery life of about 90 minutes.
