PlayStation 4 Ultimate Player 1TB Edition Bundled with Grand Theft Auto V and Uncharted Collection

In early 2016, a new PlayStation 4 system bundle surfaced through a listing on Amazon France. The package, called the PS4 Ultimate Player 1 TB Edition, combined the console with two major titles: Grand Theft Auto V and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection.

This bundle offered a comprehensive collection of critically acclaimed games from the PlayStation 3 generation, remastered for the PS4. It provided a significant library of single-player experiences right out of the box for new console owners.

The Bundled Games

Grand Theft Auto V on PlayStation 4 was an enhanced version of the original 2013 release. It featured major visual and technical upgrades, including increased draw distances, higher resolution textures, and denser traffic. A key addition was the first-person perspective mode, which allowed players to experience Los Santos and Blaine County in a new way. The package included the full single-player story and access to Grand Theft Auto Online, the game’s persistent multiplayer component.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection was a remastered compilation of the first three games in the series, developed by Bluepoint Games. It included the single-player campaigns for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. All three titles were upgraded to run at 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second, offering a smoother and visually clearer experience than their PS3 counterparts. The collection did not, however, include the multiplayer modes from the second and third games.

A 1TB Console and Regional Context

The console included in the bundle was the 1TB model of the PlayStation 4. This offered double the storage capacity of the standard 500GB unit, a significant benefit as digital downloads and mandatory game installations became more common. At the time of the bundle’s appearance, the 1TB PS4 was not widely available as a standalone option in all regions.

For instance, the only 1TB PS4 model officially sold in the United States in late 2015 and early 2016 was the limited edition version bundled with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. The appearance of this new GTA V and Uncharted bundle on Amazon France suggested a potential expansion of 1TB console offerings in Europe, but its availability in North America remained unconfirmed.

Previous Bundles

Both games had been featured in PS4 bundles before, but not together. Sony had previously offered a Black Friday 2014 bundle in North America that packaged a 500GB PS4 with digital copies of Grand Theft Auto V and The Last of Us Remastered. A separate bundle featuring Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and a 500GB console was also widely available. The new Ultimate Player Edition combined these popular titles with the upgraded 1TB hard drive, creating a high-value package for prospective buyers in the regions where it was sold.
