- Seamless Loading: Uncharted 4 is famous for having no loading screens during gameplay. The software streams assets in the background while the player moves through the environment. This is achieved by partitioning the game data into "streaming chunks" that the engine pre-emptively loads based on player velocity and direction.
- HDR Support (Update 1.15): A significant update added High Dynamic Range support. This is a system-level feature that allows the game to output a wider range of luminance, making bright lights (sun reflecting off water) and dark shadows (caves) appear more distinct on compatible displays.
