Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart finally comes to PC in July

By Tomas Franzese May 30, 2023

The next PlayStation exclusive to make its way to PC will be Insomniac Games’ Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. The port is developed by Nixxes Software and will release on July 26.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was first released in 2021 and serves as one of the PS5’s most impressive tech demos, as players can seamlessly hop between rifts to see the power of the PS5’s SSD in action. Now, we’ll get to see that gameplay gimmick in action on PC alongside all of the other bells and whistles one would expect from a first-party PlayStation PC port. It’ll be available on both Steam and Epic Games Store, and those who pre-order it will get the Corbonox Armor and Pixelizer weapon early in their playthrough. The port will cost $60 at release.

A PlayStation Blog post about this post port confirms that the PC version of Rift Apart will feature “ray-traced reflections with a variety of quality levels to choose from and newly added ray-traced shadows for natural light in outdoor areas,” in addition to performance and upscaling focused technologies like Nvidia DLSS 3, Reflex, and DLAA as well as AMD FSR 2, Intel XeSS, and Insomniac’s Temporal Injection technology. In addition to that, the game will support 21:9, 32:9, or 48:9 ultra-wide monitors and have full mouse and keyboard support.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is available now on PS5 and is part of the PlayStation Plus Extra game catalog. Its PC port will come out on July 26. Hopefully, this release is more in line with Marvel’s Spider-Man and God of War’s port quality than The Last of Us Part 1.

Red Dead Redemption, the open-world RPG that kicked off the now classic Western franchise, is coming to PC for the first time since it launched over 14 years ago.

Rockstar Games announced that both Red Dead Redemption and its zombie standalone title Undead Nightmare will be coming to Steam, Epic Games Store, or the Rockstar Store on October 29 in one package. Players will also get bonus content from the Game of the Year edition, although the studio didn't specify details. The project comes from Rockstar and port and remaster studio Double Eleven.

The PS5 is finally on sale for Prime Big Deal Days. Now’s the right time to buy it

Despite the fact that we're four years into this current console generation, PS5 discounts have been as slim as its recent redesign. You'll hardly ever find Sony's console for less than its launch day price. Even when the PS5 Pro was announced, Sony opted to keep the base model's price the same. That's finally changed. As part of Amazon's Prime Big Deals Day, the PS5 Digital Edition just got a big price cut. Regularly $450, it's on sale for $400 through most major retailers, but has been bouncing a bit lower (it's currently $395 at the time of writing).

You may be wondering if this is the right moment to buy a PS5. After all, its $700 Pro model is slated to launch next month. I'd argue that this is the exact moment to buy a base model, though.

The scariest thing about Until Dawn’s remake is how unnecessary it is

Key art for Until Dawn's remake.

In 1998, Gus Van Sant remade the iconic horror film Psycho nearly shot-for-shot. While it’s still a solid film because of how well-made the original is, the reception for it was mostly mixed-to-negative because it didn’t do enough to justify its existence. The critics' consensus on Rotten Tomatoes reads: “Van Sant's pointless remake neither improves nor illuminates Hitchcock's original.”

That’s exactly how I feel about Ballistic Moon’s Until Dawn remake for PlayStation 5 and PC.
