Sony has officially announced that Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is coming to PC on July 26. Like other PC ports, Rift Apart will make use of PC hardware to create a game that is even more technically impressive than the PS5 version.

If you have the right hardware, you can expect increased frame rates, ultrawide support, new ray-traced shadows for exteriors, and some fancy lighting to make the experience shine. In case you missed it when it first came out--or you don't own a PS5--Rift Apart is a multiversal adventure that introduces a parallel universe version of Ratchet named Rivet.

A price and official PC requirements have not yet been revealed, but it is confirmed that Sony's Nixxes studio will be handling this PC port. The game will support DualSense controller features, but like other PlayStation PC ports, this will require the controller to be plugged into your PC.

First released as a PS5 exclusive in June 2021, the game received a positive reception for its colorful graphics, fun gameplay, and novel use of the DualSense controller to give each of its weird weapons a unique feel. It's still a proper Ratchet and Clank adventure at its very core, and the dimension-hopping adventure equips both characters with an arsenal of weapons that wouldn't be out of place in a Saturday morning Looney Tunes cartoon block. It's a game with plenty of charm and it looks terrific if you have the right hardware to show it off.
