Uncharted 2 competitive multiplayer supports ten players.
Those ten players are divided into two teams of five, allowing competitive matches such as Deathmatch, Elimination, Plunder, Turf War, King of the Hill, and Chain Reaction. The team structure is one of the defining features of Among Thieves’ online multiplayer rather than a simple free-for-all format.
Uncharted 2 also included cooperative multiplayer, which had a smaller maximum of three players. That difference causes frequent confusion: ten is the competitive-player limit, while cooperative missions and survival-style modes use teams of two or three.
The competitive modes expanded the series beyond its cinematic single-player campaign. Players could earn points, rank up, unlock character skins, and choose gameplay boosts. Naughty Dog later supported the online component with additional content, but the original multiplayer servers were eventually shut down on September 3, 2019.
