A crucial technical note: Save files from CUSA00341 (US) will NOT work with CUSA00912. If you are migrating to this Asian version, you must start a new game or use a re-signed save via tools like Save Wizard. This is due to different encryption salts used by Sony for each region.
Most Western players are familiar with CUSA00341 (US edition) or CUSA00557 (EU edition). The CUSA00912 variant is unique for several reasons:
Naughty Dog pushed a minor UI fix for Photo Mode in v1.33, allowing players to remove the HUD completely in cutscenes—an essential change for content creators and machinima filmmakers.
Uncharted 4 at v1.33 on CUSA00912 is the most reliable Asian-region build for single-player. It fixes launch-day bugs, runs smoothly on PS4 Pro (checkerboard 1440p) and PS5 (locked 60 via backward compatibility), and preserves all Chinese/English options.
If you have the disc, do yourself a favor: install the 1.33 patch before starting. Your future self, stuck in a Libertalia puzzle without a crash, will thank you.

Title: One Last Time: The Story of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
Introduction: The End of an Era Released by Naughty Dog, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End (Version 1.33) serves as the thrilling conclusion to the saga of treasure hunter Nathan Drake. Set three years after the events of Uncharted 3, the game finds Nathan retired from his dangerous life of fortune hunting. He now lives a quiet, domestic life in New Orleans with his wife, Elena Fisher. However, the allure of the unknown is never far away, and the past eventually catches up with him in the form of a ghost he thought he had left behind.
The Catalyst: A Brother’s Return The story kicks into gear when Nathan’s presumed-dead older brother, Sam Drake, suddenly reappears. Sam reveals he has spent the last fifteen years imprisoned in Panama after a botched heist involving a notorious drug lord named Hector Alcazar. To buy his freedom and save his life, Sam owes Alcazar a massive debt, and he needs Nathan’s help to find the legendary treasure of the pirate Henry Avery.
Despite his promise to Elena to leave his adventuring days behind, Nathan feels a familial obligation—and a rekindled desire for adventure. He lies to Elena, telling her he has taken a salvage job in Malaysia, and sets off with Sam and his longtime partner, Victor "Sully" Sullivan.
The Race for Libertalia The hunt leads the trio across the globe, from a sophisticated auction house in Italy to the lush, war-torn landscapes of Madagascar. As they piece together clues left by Avery and the "twelve captains" of the pirate colony of Libertalia, they discover they are not the only ones seeking the fortune.
The narrative tension heightens with the introduction of the antagonists: Rafe Adler, a wealthy and ruthless treasure hunter who was once Sam's partner, and Nadine Ross, the leader of a private military army called Shoreline. Nathan must use all his wit, climbing skills, and combat prowess to stay one step ahead. A crucial technical note: Save files from CUSA00341
The Lie and the Consequence Midway through the journey, Elena discovers Nathan’s deception and follows him to Madagascar. This pivotal moment forces Nathan to confront the conflict between his lust for adventure and his commitment to his marriage. It is a more mature, character-driven story than previous entries, exploring themes of obsession, brotherhood, and the cost of lying to those you love.
Elena eventually joins the hunt, and together with Nathan, they uncover the dark history of Libertalia—a utopia that collapsed into civil war and greed. They realize the treasure isn't just gold; it's a trap Avery set to destroy anyone who tried to steal his hoard.
The Climax: Avery’s Ship The final act takes place within a massive, skeletal ship hidden in a cavern on the mythical pirate colony of Madagascar. Nathan and Elena push through the crumbling ruins and Shoreline mercenaries to find Sam, who has gone ahead alone.
In a high-stakes showdown, Nathan faces Rafe Adler and Nadine Ross amidst the burning wreckage of Avery’s ship. After a tense duel, Nathan defeats Rafe and rescues Sam. However, the treasure is lost to the sea, symbolizing that the true value of the journey was not the gold, but the relationships mended along the way.
Conclusion: A Thief’s Legacy Nathan and Sam escape with their lives but without the fortune. Sam, feeling guilty, accepts a smaller share of a salvage claim to start fresh. Nathan returns home with Elena, realizing that his greatest adventure is the life he builds with her.
In a poignant epilogue, the player controls Nathan and Elena’s teenage daughter, Cassie, who discovers relics of her parents' past. The game ends on a hopeful note: the Drakes have finally found the peace they sought, closing the chapter on a legendary career of theft and discovery. Have you played the CUSA00912 version
