At best, this "Console Exclusive" listing is a teaser at worst it was another mistake from Sony. As much as we would love to see a PC version of the game, Sony's priority is their PlayStation console platform. When the game releases on June 11th, it will only be available on PS5. Regardless, even if Sony plans to bring Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart to PC, it won't be at launch. On the 11 of February in 2021 the release date of June 11 in the same year. Rift Apart is a game that could not be made for last-generation consoles, a fact that means that a PC version of the game would only be able to run on high-end gaming PCs. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a 2021 platformer and action-adventure video. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will be one of the first games to truly utilise the power of PlayStation 5, from its boosted storage performance to its increased CPU resources and new GPU features. Would Sony make the same mistake twice? Probably. That said, Sony's latest Ratchet & Clank trailer may have mistakenly listed the game as a "PlayStation Console Exclusive", as it is a mistake that Sony has made before with Demon Souls. Sony wouldn't release their first-party games on competing consoles, making a future PC release the only real possibility for a secondary launch of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. This trailer was released on the same day as the PC version of Sony's Days Gone, a factor that may or may not be a coincidence. Previously, Sony listed Rift Apart as a PlayStation Exclusive, but now it looks like Sony is considering a wider release for their latest game. Moving forward, Sony plans to launch more of their first-party catalogue on PC, and it looks like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart may become one of those titles.Ī new trailer for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart released today, and it listed the game as a PlayStation 5 Console Exclusive, a moniker that often signifies that a game will be coming to PlayStation and PC.
Days Gone released on PC today, once again confirming to Sony that their first-party titles can find success outside of their PlayStation console platform.
