Naughty Dog has finally released a new update for their action adventure title, Uncharted 4. The highlight of this update is that it is accompanied by the very first free DLC of the game, Lost Treasure, which adds a new multiplayer map, boosters and a lot of new weapons.
Shortly after releasing the update, Naughty Dog has now revealed the full patch notes of Update 1.8 through which you can have a closer look at what’s being changed/fixed.
