Sony PlayStation, Insomniac Games and Nixxes Software are bringing Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart to Steam as Sony continue bringing more console games to PC.

The interesting thing here is that their feature list mentioned how it will have many graphics quality options so you can tailor the experience to "a wide range of devices, all the way from high-end PCs to portable PC gaming devices" — Steam Deck anyone? Hopefully this will work nicely at release with Proton on Steam Deck and desktop Linux. It will have a pretty wide array of options like NVIDIA DLSS 3, AMD FSR 2, Intel XeSS, Ray Tracing, ultra-wide support and much more. Sounds like they're really going all-out on this one.

Such an awesome time to be a gamer on PC, seeing many more previously console exclusive games arriving. Will this be something you'll be playing on desktop Linux or Steam Deck? Must admit it looks pretty good and the previous PlayStation reviews of it have been quite glowing.

You can follow it on Steam where it's available for pre-order.

Note: the article originally stated it released on July 29th which was incorrect, it launches July 26th. Apologies on the error.

By now I think someone at Sony feeds on the hopeless cries for Bloodborne on PC.

But Ratchet and Clank is one of the games I was also really hoping for, so this is great news. I need something to tide me over for a few years until FF16 might finally come...

Am I the only one triggered by the pre-order without any config info?
Nevertheless Sony is going in the right direction with their IP's, maybe one day we'll live without exclusives.

Initially they heavily boasted about their games on Steam Deck, and considering PC games in general tend to target Steam Deck nowadays, I would guess that's what they aim for.

God damn it. You know, I had a strong dislike for Sony after my past PS3 era experience with them. I vowed to never give them my money again.

And now they go bringing all these old franchises I love to PC and therefore also to Linux... which makes my wallet open. That's not cool Sony not cool!

I can't believe I am giving Sony money again

Though, I have accepted lately though that I have a game buying addiction problem (across multiple stores) so I am trying to put a stop to that

I expected to see this sooner or later, and Ratchet & Clank is a pretty cool series (I even found the movie fun, for what it was), so I'll be keeping an eye on how this turns out to run on portables once it's released. (Sorry, no pre-order - there's only one series I make that exception for. )

Actually, I wonder if this would mean that a particular cameo that I liked would also appear on Steam at some point, too?

I hope they port Bloodborne ... I am getting some Half Life 3 vibes as something that could happen but never actually does.

I have played it on PS5 and I really recommend it. A lot of fun; much improved over the previous version.

Although, I doubt this will work smooth on the Steam Deck. It's a game that requires a pretty performant GPU and NVME.

Well of course they'll keep releasing their catalogue for PSP Vita SteamDeck.
