Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the latest PlayStation game ported to PC. While it got attention thanks to the use of DirectStorage 1.2, its launch numbers are quite unimpressive compared to SIE’s other first-party titles on Steam.

I have too many other big games currently to play to get ratchet and clank full price 3 years after it came out. It’s on my wish list. When I see a good sale and I’ve gotten through my backlog a bit it might look more tempting
The little to no marketing is also really hurting them. I didn’t even know until well after it was out that Returnal was even getting a PC release - the first I heard of it was news of its disappointing sales. Same with Ratchet and Clank - first I heard they weren’t sure how they’d port it because of memory demands, then this now about the low number of players. Like. If no one knows it’s coming out (or even has come out until there’s bad press), no one’s gonna buy your game.
Rift Apart is a very good game that is enjoyable without playing the rest of the series. The story is pretty self contained, even though it's referential.
I would add to that lack of support for DualShock haptic feedback and adaptive triggers over Bluetooth on pc. So we are paying full price for in some ways inferior product
I played rift apart on ps5 cause I got it for free with the console. And while it’s an enjoyable game I started playing it and not sold immediately because I was curious about DualShock features(and they are good in this game)
Yep. The last one is my biggest problem. I was fully aware of it, honestly probably willing to pay $50-$60, and heard it's a decent port, but being that I'm not a PlayStation gamer, I never played the originals, so I'm not ready to play this one. If they had released the Ratchet & Clank remake first, I would have snatched that up.
