Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart in the Bottom Three of Steam Launches for PlayStation

Insomniac Games’ Rachet & Clank: Rift Apart is a platform shooter game from a third-person perspective. Initially published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 5, this game was recently made available for Windows port in 2023 by Nixxes Software. PlayStation players really loved this game and praised its combat techniques, advanced gameplay and unique visuals. 

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was the ninth installment in the main Ratchet & Clank franchise. Although its PlayStation launch was a hit, PC users didn’t like the game very much. Following the fact, Rachet& Clank: Rift Apart became one of the worst-rated games on Steam. 

How Rachet& Clank became one of the worst games on Steam

Sony previously had massive success transferring its bestsellers to Windows through PC ports. This list includes titles like God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and many others. However, some games couldn’t make their list like the two Sony games mentioned. Still, it is certain that PlayStation had success with its games shipped to PC ports.

But with Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, PlayStation couldn’t find success on Steam. This game was launched for PC only last week and to date, this action platformer game of Insomniac managed to get only 8757 players. This surely wasn’t a good viewership for the debut week of its release on PC. It felt like PC users didn’t really like the game much. 

Since July 2021, this game was available on PlayStation 5, and it sold over 1 million copies. However, Steam’s poor viewership confirms that the game performed poorly in the market for PC users. However, Rachet & Clank: Rift Apart was positioned about Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Returnal. furthermore, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection took the position right above Ratchet & Clank.

Fans are disappointed with the news

This news was shared by a gamer who posted the source link saying- “Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart Sees PlayStation’s Third-Worst Steam Launch to Date.”

It felt like fans believe that the game was not properly advertised to PC users- “They don’t even try to advertise them. It’s like they’re always doomed to fail.”

A lot of people took advantage of the moment to give a reality check to PlayStation fans – “Playstation gamers need to learn a very important lesson. PC gamers are not nearly as obsessed with their exclusive titles as they are.”

Overall, people raised their support for the game and spoke about improper advertising.
