Sony has officially announced that Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is the next PlayStation title to make its way to PC, and its out on July 26, 2023.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart launched back in 2021 and was one of the first major PS5 releases. Now, two years later we now know that the PS5 showpiece is on its way to PC courtesy of a store page for the game appearing on Steam. With Insomniac Games following shortly after with a PlayStation Blog post announcing it along with a PC features trailer.
The PC version of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart launches on July 26, 2023. The PC version comes with everything included in the PS5 Digital Deluxe edition including the five armor sets, as well as the new 20th Anniversary Armor Pack which includes five more armor sets inspired by previous games in the series.
The game doesn't have a price yet, and is currently not available for pre-purchase, however pre-purchasing will net you early access to the Pixelizer Weapon and Carbonox Armor set.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was a huge critical success upon launch, being nominated for Game of the Year categories at the likes of The Game Awards and the BAFTA Game Awards. It and Returnal (which also had a PC port earlier this year) carried the first year of the PS5.
Riveting
The Steam page notes some PC features including support for unlocked framerates, 21:9, 32:9, and 48:9 resolutions so that you can have three monitors full of Ratchet & Clank. The port also supports upscaling technologies like Nvidia DLSS 3, AMD FSR 2, and Intel XeSS. Plus, if mouse and keyboard isn't your style you can plug in a Dualsense controller and experience all of the haptic feedback and dynamic trigger support from the PS5 original.
The port of the is being developed by Nixxes Software who most recently handled the PC ports of the other Insomniac Games titles Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which were both excellent ports, so its likely we won't have another The Last of Us Part 1 PC port situation on our hands.
While Nixxes Software has a proven track record, I would still advise against pre-purchasing this one after what happened with The Last of Us Part 1. I don't expect this to be anywhere near as bad of a port (especially since it'll have been two years since the original launched compared to The Last of Us Part 1's six-month window). However, its better to be safe than sorry in this case.
