Released on May 5, 2016, for Android and iOS, the game is a spin-off of the Uncharted franchise and served as a companion app to Uncharted 4: A Thief's End .
Uncharted: Fortune Hunter featured stylized puzzle gameplay in which players controlled series protagonist Nathan Drake across a grid-based board. The objective was to solve over 200 logic puzzles by navigating traps, activating switches, and collecting treasures. The game combined classic puzzle mechanics with the aesthetic and tone of the Uncharted series. [1]

The game was developed by PlayStation Mobile Inc., with input from Naughty Dog, and released globally on May 5, 2016, for Android and iOS devices.

Despite its connection to a popular console title, the game saw limited commercial performance. Reports indicated it generated approximately $88,000 in revenue from 1.9 million downloads.
