A recent job posting by Nixxes might have spilled the beans on the next PlayStation game possibly making the jump from PS5 to PC - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
Nixxes, a recent Sony acquisition, is best known for collaborating with fellow PlayStation studio Insomniac Games and bringing the two web-slinging titles, Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales, to PC last year.
As noted by Reddit user u/Veloxz over on the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, the job posting mentions "Experience in using Coherent Middleware" as an additional benefit for applicants. For those unaware, Middleware is a video game UI (user interface) designed by Coherent Labs and is used in multiple games. Most notable of those titles is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

Skipping over previous entries in a franchise to release only the latest entry isn't new to PlayStation's PC release strategy. As such, Rift Apart being the first Ratchet & Clank title to debut on the platform isn’t unreasonable.
