The theme comes from Uncharted, Naughty Dog's action-adventure game series that began with Drake's Fortune on PlayStation 3 in 2007. Composed by Greg Edmonson, the score follows treasure hunter Nathan Drake through globe-trotting adventures, and its main melody became closely linked to the series across later games and the 2022 film adaptation. As clips spread on video platforms and soundboards, creators began using it as shorthand for exploration and discovery, which is why it still works instantly even for viewers who have never played the games.
