Ratchet and Clank to Get a PS5 Update Next Month

Ratchet & Clank has been an iconic first-party franchise for PlayStation from the house of Insomniac Games. The house that brought us insane titles like Spider-Man: Miles Morales and its predecessor, Marvel’s Spider-Man, delivered a banger with the 2016 remake of the original Ratchet & Clank franchise. Moreover, the latest title in the franchise was among the first games that Sony used to showcase the prowess of the powerful hardware that features in the PS5.

While demonstrating the seamless gameplay on PS5, Jim Ryan used Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart to show just how the new-gen console from Sony aims at revolutionizing gameplay. For instance, in Rift Apart, players will not experience any loading times whatsoever. They will be able to teleport seamlessly from world to world with minimal rendering downtime.

This one is, beyond doubt, one of the most popular titles from Insomniac Games. Yesterday, the official Twitter handle of the company posted some exciting news for fans of the PlayStation exclusive RPG. The 2016 remake of the classic RPG is about to get a PS5 update this month!

But wait, there’s more!
