The last two games in Naughty Dog’s Nathan Drake Uncharted games make their way to Windows computers and you can now become a bush pilot in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Plus, customize your own Elite Series 2 controller for your Xbox.
Uncharted brings the swagger to PC
More games created for Playstation platforms are appearing on Windows computers. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collects the games Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, which effectively wrap up the story of Nathan Drake and his confederates.
The games are narrative romps inspired by the likes of Lara Croft, the Tomb Raider, and Indiana Jones. Developed by Naughty Dog, they are notable for quippy dialogue, great acting, and, in these later games, breathtaking visuals and landscapes.
Remastered and readied for the range of PC systems out there, this collection supports 4K displays and ultra-wide monitors, and if you’ve got a DualShock controller connected to your computer you can also experience the full haptics and force feedback in the triggers.
If you’re a PC gamer and haven’t had the pleasure of playing an Uncharted game, get up to speed on the events of the first three games and settle in for some action.
Fly to Canadian destinations with Microsoft Flight Simulator
The latest update to this singular sim opens up the great white north to flight. Through an update to Microsoft Flight Simulator, you can explore the skies above twelve Canadian urban centres which feature detailed recreations of points of interest like Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, the Canadian High Arctic Research Station in Nunavut, the Lethbridge Viaduct, the Banff Springs Hotel, and the city of Vancouver.
As part of this, you get to tackle some challenging landing strips as well as do some old-fashioned bush flying in the Canadian wilds.
The update is free if you’ve got a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator, which is available as part of the Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass subscriptions.
Design your own Xbox Elite controller
The Xbox Elite controller is, well, the elite controller for the Xbox consoles. And now you can create your own personalized version of the Elite Series 2 at the Xbox Design Lab.
Choose your own colour scheme, including, for the first time, the thumbstick base and ring.
And as the Elite controllers were developed with interchangeable components, so too can you change out the paddles, thumbsticks, and D-pad on the Elite Series 2 that you create for yourself.
You can design a custom Elite Series 2 controller for $150. A set including a controller, additional components, and a charging carrying case is $210.
