Although it is worth noting that controller features are limited to wired connections only.
Unlike the PS5 version, which gave players several performance and visual modes to choose from, the team at Nixxes Software has confirmed thatRift Apartwill have an unlocked framerate. This will allow those with high-end rigs to push for both 4K and ray tracing visuals without sacrificing high framerates.Nixxes Software was bought by Sony to specifically develop PC portsso some fans will be happy that they will have more flexibility in how the game runs.
It is worth noting that the PC specifications have not been fully confirmed forRatchet and Clank: Rift Apart. Crucially players who have yet to upgrade to an SSD may need to consider an upgrade. One of the reasonsRift Apartwas not a cross-gen title is that it needed to utilize the PS5’s SSD to provide seamless transitions when it comes to players making use of the game’s rift mechanic that sends Ratchet to other areas of the map in an instant.
Insomniac Games is busygearing up for the release ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2before moving ontoMarvel’s Wolverine. With two big Marvel games in development, it seems it will be a while until the Lombax and Robot duo get another full-fledged outing. For fans ofRatchet and Clank,however, the PC port shows that Sony is still keen on growing the franchise even if another game is years away.
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apartis available on PS5 and will launch for PC on July 26.
