As the rest of the team has been working incredibly hard on the remaining tasks to complete Uncharted 3, other folks at the studio - namely Jason, our in-house web developer - have been working really hard to allow you to view some of your Beta stats. We’re glad to let you know that you can now view a LIMITED set of BASIC player profile stats and a summary of your game history, right here on NaughtyDog.com. To check your stats, make sure you’re logged into PSN on NaughtyDog.com and hit the “Uncharted 3: Beta Stats” navigation item in our menu above or click on this link!

Earlier today, July 12, we started getting reports that some users were logging back into the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta and finding that their progress in the game has been reset. Many players have had to re-accept the online agreement when logging in to the Beta and their profile shows they are at level 1, with no XP accumulated or Cash remaining in their profile. We’re actively looking into what caused the issue so we can prevent it from happening in the future. We know this is particularly worrying for those of you who have been working towards to the Uncharted 3 Beta rewards – we’ve reposted the details on the Beta rewards at the end of this post. IF you were one of the players affected by this profile reset, here’s the scoop: The GOOD news is that your progress towards those rewards has NOT been lost – we still have all of your detailed play history by game stored safely and ALL games you have played in the past and are playing right Read more...

You've only got just over 4 days left to get your fill of this preview of Uncharted 3 multiplayer and to achieve the requirements to get your rewards for the full version when Uncharted 3 is released in November.  The Beta recently hit 1 MILLION unique players and our player count was growing steadily over the weekend.

The first weekend during the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta also happens to be a long holiday weekend. We’re expecting a higher number of players than during the week – as is typical in our experience – so we wanted to make sure that everyone knows where to leave us feedback. We can’t stress this point enough – we want to hear from you about anything and everything you like, dislike or any issues you encounter while playing the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta. The best place to do that, and make sure that we get it, it to post it on the Multiplayer Beta discussion forum on NaughtyDog.com here.
