This page includes the controls for Drake's Fortune, which was originally released on the PlayStation 3 and for PlayStation 4 as part of the The Nathan Drake Collection. The original PlayStation 3 version had unique SIXAXIS controls for balancing on logs, and controlling the direction and angle of the grenade arc. Due to the DualShock 3 and 4's removal of this function these controls were either removed (in case of the balancing) or replaced with normal analog stick controls (in case of the grenades).
For the The Nathan Drake Collection, the PlayStation 4's DualShock replaced the select button with the touchpad, and the start button with the option button. It also swapped the default 
and 
controls with the 
and 
buttons, although it included an option for switching them back.
