Sony released today a new trailer for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart that may possibly hint at a future PC release. The ending of the trailer clearly states that it will be a Playstation 5 console exclusive, and not a Playstation 5 exclusive.
As we’ve seen numerous times, Sony is using the term “Playstation 5 console exclusive” when a game is timed-exclusive on PS5. This happened with Final Fantasy VII Remake, Final Fantasy XVI, Project Athia and Death Stranding.
What’s also interesting is that the game’s previous trailer stated that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was a “Playstation 5 exclusive”. This change obviously hints at the game coming to other platforms, and the PC is the most likely one.
It’s worth noting that Sony also hinted at Demon’s Souls Remake coming to PC back in September 2020. The publisher did the same mistake with Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart so it will be interesting to see whether this game will also release on PC.
Lastly, it’s worth noting that Playstation Studios’ Steam page hints at more Playstation games coming to PC. Sony has stated that it will port more games on PC. As the Steam page hints, there are currently 17 hidden PC games and DLCs.
Below you can find the latest trailer for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. I’ve also captured the ending message (in case Sony decides to remove or change that message).
Here is the ending message from this latest trailer.
And here is the ending message from the game’s previous trailer.
As always, take everything you just read with a grain of salt. This could be just a typo and nothing more. Still, it makes you wonder how Sony made that “mistake“. And no, don’t expect Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart to hit PC anytime soon. If Sony indeed plans to bring it to PC, it will be at least one year after its PS5 release.
Stay tuned for more!

Imagine being a Sony fanboy right now, their world is literally falling apart
Imagine giving a fck about Playstation and Sony exclusives.
facts no one should give F about those trash A$$ games
Believe me a lot of PC players care and will jump on them as soon as they’re available to preorder, don’t fool yourself. Anyway, the quality of these games isn’t the real subject here, getting Sony exclusives on PC is a big win for the platform as a whole, people should look beyond their nose more often, even if i don’t like most of PS4 exclusives, it will please me to see them available on PC
Ironic, i saw you praising Killzone multiple times in this site…
Lol, that comment. I meant caring about about exclusives not being exclusive anymore. Who gives a damn? “Sony fanboys do.” Yeah, well seems like PC fanboys care about them just the same.
Then your comment was confusing and misleading, it should point at Sony fanboys and not Sony exclusives, i don’t think a reasonable person who likes the PC platform could not see this as a great bonus, even if you don’t really like these games.
And yes seeing fanboys STFU and stop jackin’ off to their consoles in public is something i care for
Imagine being a fanboy!
There, I fixed it to ya.
They’ve made a similar mistake before.
They have no reason to port PS5 games anytime soon, plus this game is heavily reliant on NVME bandwidth, which still isn’t standard/widespread on PC.
Pretty clear their current strategy is to port PS4 games, which they have enough of to last for the next 5-6 years.
Every single “next-gen” game from MS will require NVME drive because Direct Storage not support SATA drives. You can’t play next gen games like Forza, Hellblade 2, Perfect Dark, Fable or even next gen Doom or Wolfenstein without NVME.
If you don’t upgrade your SSD you can’t play a lot of games in 2022.
i HAVE OVER 4 NVME’S IN my system and i can assure you that you are reaching. Stop talking about PC’s as if they are consoles. You are reaching too much at this point, SSD’s and HDD will still be viable.
Looks like Sp4ctr0 Spencer in his latest guise has been drinking the Microshaft Kool-Aid again, lol
Sites keep banning him for his nonsense and spamming and yet he keeps on returning using yet another new account. smh
Every modern PC support M2 port and those NVME 3.0 drives are dirt cheap. You can buy 500 GB for 50 usd
At this point, looks as if he has set up shop offshore somewhere and is now manufacturing bootlegged Microshaft Kool-aid.
Everything that dude types is pure VIRTIGO! This is what happens when you are a Microsoft shill/console phallus s*cker. Even IDE drivers are still working for whatever you want. These are Drives we are talking not some piece of software. His logic is, because they make something faster and more streamline, the other stuff is gonna go in the trash. He doesn’t understand that NOT everyone wants to go lightening fast, that’s the beauty of the PC, you always have choice to move forward or stay stagnant.
There are people still using windows 7 & 8 for heavens sake. It is STILL THEIR CHOICE. Man why do I or any of us even bother. As soon as Microsoft or Sony comes out with their new hopes & dreams scenarios, these idiots just run wild and spray paint the foolishness they were presented, all over the internet.
“SSD’s and HDD will still be viable”
Only for games using older versions of DirectX. New Direct Storage from DirectX as well as Nvidia RTX IO support only NVME drives. You can’t support 10-years old SATA forever. NVME drives are cheap – cost less than 100 usd for 1 TB

Direct Storage (Nvidia RTX IO) support cheap NVME 3.0 – you can buy 500 GB for 50 usd. You don’t need 4.0

Did you end up giving the pc version of Days Gone a try?
DOOM Eternal loads superfast. Without NVMe learn why. They even explained the technicalities. This rubbish tech won’t do shlt. PC players do not suffer from I/O problems. The only elements needed are GPU, VRAM, DRAM & CPU.
All these operate different vs an SoC pos. And that idiotic shilling from him implies everything is a console with DX12.
Its stupid.
lmao ID Tech 7 doesn’t have mainthread for texture streaming and no megatextures as well while still having more geometric details. PS4 has shlt CPU period, no amount of I/O is going to improve that POS HW. And same for the GPU.
PCIe SSD mandate is not happening. I don’t see it happen anytime. SATA2 to SATA3 saw massive improvement, still games can be run from SATA2 HDDs.
Doom Eternal was created by ID Software which was acquired by Microsoft. Future Doom games will use DirectX with Direct Storage like every new MS game. You will need buy NVME drive for 50 usd to play those games. You can’t use SATA forever
MS acquired ID Software so next ID Tech 8 will use Direct 12 Ultimate. MS don’t use Vulkan in own studios

Don’t even try to explain them it. They probably don’t know how M2 or SATA ports looks like. Look at their comments, they are not very smart
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zolAIEH0n1c
Microsoft has a mandate that forbids next gen exclusives for at least 18 months past the Series X launch.
It’s not a personal worry for me, but you can rest assure that even by 2022 it’ll be a minority of PC gamers with NVME drives. A lot of people don’t even know the difference between M.2 SATA and NVMe.
What people?
People who have M.2 drives installed know what is the difference between SATA and NVMe.
Also NVMe was never the bottleneck, it was always RAM, GPU and CPU speeds in old gen.
Faster SATA drives can manage just fine. It all comes down to devs being able to implement it right.
“Faster SATA drives can manage just fine”
No, SATA drives are not supported by new DirectX shared between PC and Xbox. You can read more on DirectX Developer Blog: “DirectStorage is coming to PC”
It doesn’t matter. Xbox games can be backported with faster SATA III drives in mind.
However at some point NVME might be mandatory for games.
If Microsoft wants to paywall their new games from the SATA users, that’s their choice.
It won’t be possible, you can learn more on official MS developer channel on youtube. There are great presentation: “DirectStorage for Windows” on channel “Microsoft Game Stack”
Next Forza Motorsport, Fable, Hellblade 2, Perfect Dark are confirmed as “Xbox Series and PC only”. No support for Xbox One. All those games will require NVME on PC because Direct Storage don’t support SATA
DirectX Developer Blog:
“NVMe devices are not only extremely high bandwidth SSD based devices, but they also have hardware data access pipes called NVMe queues which are particularly suited to gaming workloads. To get data off the drive, an OS submits a request to the drive and data is delivered to the app via these queues. An NVMe device can have multiple queues and each queue can contain many requests at a time. This is a perfect match to the parallel and batched nature of modern gaming workloads. The DirectStorage programming model essentially gives developers direct control over that highly optimized hardware.
For these reasons, NVMe is the storage technology of choice for DirectStorage and high-performance next generation gaming IO.”
I think you are confusing the word require with the word support. The PC community will have to move to PCIe gen 4/5 before NVME really takes off due to limited PCI lanes, which will take many years.
Direct Storage support NVME 3.0 and 4.0 – only old SATA 3 is not supported. Go to DirectX blog about DirectX for Windows
Do you honestly think devs will not have SATA support by default? That is an incredible amount of lost sales.
Go to DirectX Developers blog – read source article or watch video “Direct Storage for Windows”.
Microsoft confirmed multiple times that new Direct Storage work only on NVME which is standard on PC for more than 5 years and available in Xbox. This kind of drive is very cheap – about 50 usd for 500 GB.
Yes, direct storage is built around NVMe.
The question for the PC version is
Bingo! His understanding of the English language is quite poor.
Go to DirectX Developers blog – read source article or watch video “Direct Storage for Windows”. Maybe you will understand
So I see you deleted your original comment about “why do people like me who knows nothing about computers like to comment”. I can answer that real easily for you, because people like me WORK IN MARKETING & HAVE worked for Microsoft & many other companies like it. And we know something you don’t. We know about the talking great Bull$h*t. We know that they can say whatever they want and say they are gonna do whatever, but we know how to decifer marketing jargon B.S from what will and can actually happen. You seem to live in lala land and believe any garbage they spew. Since I actually work in the field I know better.
So you just some “marketing guy”? This explain everything. Do you even know how SATA and M2 ports looks like?
Yes, just some “Marketing Guy”… Your are Dummy. A very disrespectful low- minded one at that. You don’t even know what my job entails, you dummy. do you even know what marketing does on the technology world or the product world? We are the ones that’s between R&D & the consumers you dummy. Therefore, I pitch infront of thousands of people. The same conferences you are watching that’s US, talking to you, you dummy. Engineers, aren’t talking people. They build, we learn about what they build them convey it to idiots like you, that regurgitate information. You are so Dumb!!! I hope you’ve learned something today.
While we are asking each other questions, “Do you even know what a Vagina port looks like”? The last time you probably had s*x was when your were born.
Preach & preach it from the loudest mountain top please. There is always an idiot that thinks we are going to land on the sun any minute now and we all should just accept what they say.
that’s not how it works clown
SATA is not supported by new DirectX Storage API

I love how we are all trying to work with this fool and set him straight and you just come on in with, “that’s not how it works clown”. Haha, sometines your way is the best way. Seriously man, thank you. ?
Why people without any knowledge always comment on things they don’t understand? SATA is not supported by new DirectX Storage API. Do you even know what SATA drives looks like?

MS already promote new advanced solutions which use Direct Storage. This is very important technology for new consoles. Even Sony have some kind of new SSD API available on PS5
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3ajo6khF9E
Direct Storage on PC don’t support SATA so you can’t use that API with old HDD drives. Just like you don’t use DirectX DXR raytracing on your old graphics card from 2017. Games can’t support old hardware forever
NVME bandwidth, which still isn’t standard/widespread on PC.”
you actually believe that a HDD cant run a game built on a SSD? or another SSD cant run PS5 games are you dumb? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/62d0dcd898a4017f567f47fa5fc554b833886a804b04fda55e366cd330e73085.jpg
PS5 stocks are still extremely limited and the situation is here to stay till 2022, their cash flow isn’t good these days and everyone knows how bad it is to have a bad cash flow after big investments (PS5 conception, distribution and marketing)
So making PC ports is just a solution like any other to make some extra cash as a compensation, it doesn’t look like a bad strategy at all.
Also even if the game is reliant on NVME, that doesn’t mean it required for all settings and situations, maybe on Ultra but i don’t think medium or low texture settings will put the streaming system on it knees
PS4 has 8 games. They’ve already ported 2 of them. God of War, Uncharted 4, Lost Legacy, TLOU Remaster TLOU 2 and Ghost of Tsushima are the only exclusives PS4 has left. And none of those will be ported. Drake Collection probably but not the newer ones. God of War Saga probably but not 7.
None of those will be ported? Is your uncle the CEO of Sony?
They officially stated more was coming.
They have no reason not to port them, since those games haven’t been making any profit/revenue for years, and most of them have been given away via PS+ or the PS+ Collection on PS5.
Sonyggers will literally kill themselves now (thanks s_fnx for comment inspiration)

Bring the whole series to pc!
Especially the original ps2 trilogy!
Original is loong time already on pc
An official pc port not via emulation
Lol hmmm yes and no!
It’s not John. It’s saying that it’s not also coming to PS4 like other PS5 games are. It’s exclusive to the PS5 because they built the game around the fast SSD (not saying a PC couldn’t run it) and a PS4 couldn’t handle the game seamlessly transitioning from one universe to the next as instantly as this new R&C game does.
If that was the case a simple “PS5 exclusive” would suffice
At this point… might as well bring all the ps4 games to pc. It’s extra money for something that isn’t really going to earn much more just sitting on ps4. Bring us Bloodborne and TLOU!!
plz they can keep the last of us
Bloodborne isn’t a Sony game. It’s a From game and all of From’s games except Armored Core, Demon and Bloodborne are on PC.
Sony owns the IP. Basically Sony appraoched From Software and told them: “Miyazaki, here’s money, here’s the first PS4 dev kit, go wild.”
who’s the girl on the right? Ratchet’s gf?
His politically correct replacement
A furry
It could be a tranknee allegory. You never can look at anything in a simple way anymore. Insomniac is a big BLM supporter.
Just change the portals loading from 2sec to 10sec and there you have it, problem solved.
what’s with all the anthropomorphic animals in gaming nowadays? Are zoomers and devs all mentally ill furries?
First off, the Ratchet and Clank franchise is going on almost 20 years. Also, I don’t notice that many games with anthropomorphic animals. There were a lot more of these types of games in the 90’s, 2000’s and I love them.
ok I guess I was wrong then. It’s nothing new, a large percentage of gamers were and still are into this weird AF fetish
Fine, but they should port the first one as well.
A lot of new games will require NVME drives. Recently MS released new DirectX with Direct Storage which support only NVME drives. This API is shared by Xbox, Nvidia (RTX IO) and AMD Radeon. All games ported from Xbox Series to PC will use that API
It’s obviously just a troll—don’t feed it.

another dumb F that doesnt know how tech work a regular SSD will load games the same as the one in the PS5 what you need is a good GPU and CPU a lot of ram as well and your fine SSD is just for loading nothing more, you cant do SH&&t without a good GPU and CPU
Why you have to be a jerk to people? Nobody likes you, or you are just a failure in life?”
your a stalker now??
“I’m not saying GPU or CPU is not important, but there are additional bottlenecks and I/O is one of them.”
Bull you clowns think that a SSD will magically solve all of your performance problems GTFO
I’m not stalking your post, because you are nobody to me and after this post I will quickly forget about you, because I’m adding you to my block list.”
wow I’m so scared you can block lol listen clown i can do the same
have never said SSD will not magically solve performance problems. I have mentioned Tim Sweeney, Insomniac and Naughty Dog enginners, who explained very well how SSD can improve”
your talking about Spiderman? which has little to nothing in that game to load, it has no advance features that would take a while to load up RT isnt demanding on the SSD either
Would love if they brought this to PC, but if they brought ghost of Tsushima that would be truly amazing.
What kind of imbeciles does PlayStation have working for them? They did the exact same thing during The Demon’s Souls reveal trailer. If you were a professional video editor, I would think you would watch your video a couple of times for any mistakes that might be in it.
Why would anyone tempt fate by even putting this in in the first place?
Excellent!
Bring the old good Sony games, the new ones can fck off!
Sony: Should more Sony games be on EGS only?
Me: They should be on Steam also!
Sony: Why should our games be on Steam also?
Me: More options is always a good thing!
Not that I want all these games but glad that I don’t have to think if I can play on my preferred platform.
Nah, they can keep this tvrd!
AHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAH LOLOLOL AHAHAH I remember explicitly dumb Sonyponies saying things like “This game literally couldn’t exist without PS5s insane SSD”
I hope this happens and their lives explode.
Nice
