Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is an upcoming singleplayer third-person platform game developed by Insomniac Games, ported by Nixxes Software and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment via its PlayStation PC brand. The game is a PC port of the PlayStation 5 game of the same name which is the 9th main installment in the Ratchet & Clank series. The PC port has PC-specific features, including FSR 2, XeSS, DLSS 2, DLSS Frame Generation, DLAA and ultrawide screen support, and is the first game to utilize the DirectStorage 1.2 API.[1][2]

The game was released on PC on July 26, 2023, two years after it was originally released for the PlayStation 5 on June 11, 2021.

At launch, ray-tracing on AMD GPUs (specifically those based on RDNA2 and RDNA3 architectures) is disabled, but Nixxes noted that they are currently working with AMD to enable it on those GPUs as soon as possible.[3]
