Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PC's Performance is Not Great Not Terrible
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has been available on PC for several days now. During this time, Insomniac Games' title has accumulated solid ratings and a small number of players at peak activity.
Last week, another Sony PlayStation exclusive made its debut on PCs. This time PC owners received Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which originally debuted in June 2021 on PlayStation 5.
Neither bad nor good
It's been a few days since the release of the game's PC port, and it's fair to say that the performance of Insomniac Games' title is average - the number of players isn't too high, but this is compensated by good reviews.
- The current activity revord for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is 8757 users (via SteamDB).
- The game has received 1792 reviews on Steam - 85% of which are positive.
- This is much better ratings than those received by The Last of Us Part I at the time of its release on PC (at that time, the game from Naughty Dog faced considerable technical issues), or Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection.
Unlike previous Sony exclusives ported to PC, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart looks really good and solid. Digital Foundry was even tempted to compare the game's visuals on PS5 and PC, and you have to admit that the quality of both releases is at a similar level. Probably this is one of the reasons why the title has gathered such good reviews. At the same time the web is full of somewhat different demonstrations, showing the game running on PCs with slow HDDs.
