Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart‘s PC port is the latest exclusive to leap over to Steam and the Epic Games Store, and will benefit from an assortment of technical improvements.

These include unlocked framerates, support for Nvidia‘s DLSS 3 and AMD‘s FSR 2, optimisation for ultra-wide monitors, ray-traced reflections and shadows, customisable mouse and keyboard controls and controller support.

In NME’s four-star review of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart in 2021, the game encapsulated the thrill and the charm of a summer blockbuster for PlayStation. “Rift Apart relies on visual splendour for its variation, wowing you with a string of setpieces between repeated sections of familiar-feeling gameplay,” said Tom Regan.

Praise was also awarded to the DualSense’s reaction to whichever weapon that Ratchet or Rivet were wielding, like the “convincing chatter” of miniguns or the “lurching growl” of carbines.

Aside from the aforementioned Marvel’s Spider-Man games, PC players have gotten the chance to play God Of War 2018, The Last Of Us Part 1, Days Gone, Returnal, Uncharted and Horizon Zero Dawn on their preferred platform.

Sony shared its intentions to “continue creating new IP, rolling out catalog titles for PC, and strengthening live service development” in its financial report for last year, following a significant boost in sales on “platforms other than PlayStation consoles” between 2021 and 2022.
