For years, the prevailing wisdom was that the PlayStation 3’s architecture—the infamous Cell Broadband Engine—was too complex, too alien, and too difficult to emulate on standard PC hardware. The PS3 didn't work like a standard computer; it relied on a unique synergy between a PowerPC core and eight specialized co-processors called Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs).

Uncharted 3 represented the peak of this difficult architecture. Naughty Dog, having mastered the PS3, squeezed every ounce of performance out of the Cell processor to render Nathan Drake’s journey through the deserts of Rub' al Khali. Porting this to PC natively would require rewriting the game’s code almost from scratch, which is why Sony never bothered during that generation.
