It looks like a port of another PlayStation exclusive, specifically Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, will be releasing soon on PC. Confirmation can be found in a recent job posting.
Sony’s assault on the PC with ports of PlayStation games continues. Last year we received conversions of titles like God of War or Marvel’s Spider-Man (starring Miles Morales), and a remake of the first The Last of Us is just around the corner. Moreover, it turns out that in the project there may be a PC version of the phenomenal Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart from 2021.
Job offer a clue
This is according to a job offer posted a few days ago on the official Nixxes website (it was discovered by a Reddit user). The team is looking for a UX/UI Engineer to help prepare user interfaces for upcoming AAA PC games. The key message is the candidate’s extensive experience with the Coherent environment, which was used in the latest Ratchet and Clank game, among others.
But why the assumption that it is precisely a port of this game? Studio Nixxes is best known for its PC versions of Insomniac Games titles., specifically the aforementioned remasters of Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is also the work of Insomniac, so the conclusions are self-explanatory.
Sony Game Port Release Schedule
Also worth mentioning is the order in which Sony’s games were released on PC, which could be further confirmation of the upcoming Rift Apart port. To date, most of the exclusive titles have been released on PC chronologically. For example, God of War debuted on the platform in January 2022, and a few months later we had the first Spider-Man – both games released on PS4 in 2018. Moving on, Returnal was released for PS5 in April 2021, and by the month PC gamers had access to the game in the past. So the next Sony exclusive on the list is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which debuted on PS5 shortly long after Returnal.
In this case, the exception to the rule would be The Last of Us: Part I. But since this is a new release and not a brand new game, there is speculation of a port of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart as one of the following. that Sony is preparing makes as much sense as it gets. It’s also a shame that at some point we have the ports of, among other things, the remake of Demon’s Souls and Ghost of Tsushima…
