In a presentation released for Sony's Investor Relations Day overnight, the company appears to let slip that Uncharted 4 will be heading to PC to join other PlayStation properties that have made the jump lately. Following the likes of Days Gone and Horizon Zero Dawn, it looks like Sony's next PS4-to-PC port will be Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, according to some investor documents.
