'Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart' PC System Requirements Revealed, Support DLSS3, Reflex And RTX IO

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a brand new intergalactic adventure where players will seamlessly travel through different dimensions in mid-gameplay.

When the evil Dr. Nefarious uses a device that can access alternate dimensions to find a galaxy where he always wins, Ratchet and Clank are separated. As they try to reunite, they will meet a new Lombax resistance fighter, explore new and familiar locales (but with new dimensional twists!), and wield a whole new arsenal of out of this world weapons.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart showcases what’s possible for games designed around PS5’s ultra-high speed SSD and DualSense wireless controller.

The DualSense wireless controller brings combat to life, with haptic feedback and the adaptive triggers adding powerful sensations that increase immersion in combat.
