Naughty Dog's farewell to Nathan Drake came packaged like the treasure he spent four games chasing. The Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Special Edition on PlayStation 4 is a stacked collector's package that includes a steelbook case designed by Alexander "That Kid Who Draws" Iaccarino, a 48-page hardcover art book by Dark Horse, a Naughty Dog and Pirate Sigil sticker sheet, and in-game Naughty Dog Points for multiplayer content.

The steelbook alone justifies the hunt. Iaccarino's artwork captures the adventurous spirit of the franchise with a style that feels hand-crafted rather than corporate, and the Dark Horse art book adds 48 pages of the gorgeous environmental and character work that made Uncharted 4 one of the best-looking games of its generation. These aren't throwaway pack-ins. The art book has real binding, real pages, and real heft.

Uncharted 4 is widely considered one of the PS4's defining exclusives, a game that closed out a beloved series with the kind of emotional maturity nobody expected from a franchise about a wisecracking treasure hunter. The Special Edition is the physical embodiment of that send-off. It's the version that sits on your shelf and looks like it belongs in a museum, which is fitting for a series obsessed with artifacts. If you're collecting PS4 essentials, this is non-negotiable.
