Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart System Requirements on PC Not as Scary as You Might Think [Update]
Less than two weeks separate us from the release of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on PC. In the meantime, impatient gamers can take a look at the game's system requirements. These, surprisingly, look quite pleasant.
Update
Admittedly a bit later than expected, but the PlayStation blog has finally published detailed information about Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart's PC version. As far as system requirements are concerned, they are no different from those provided a few days ago.
However, attention is drawn to the features offered by the PC port.
- DirectStorage 1.2 for fast loading of resources. This feature is expected to provide even smoother jumping through portals, which plays a significant role in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
- With Ray-Traced Ambient Occlusion, the game's lighting will be more realistic. This feature is intended for owners of more powerful computers.
- For owners of slightly weaker components, Ground-Truth Ambient Occlusion was prepared. It does not provide such spectacular effects as RTAO, but it is less demanding.
Original news (July 13, 2023)
Sony Interactive Entertainment is increasingly eager to port its console hits to personal computers. This was the case, for example, with Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, God of War, or Marvel's Spider-Man. Although released a few months ago, the PC version of The Last of Us: Part I failed to win the hearts of gamers due to numerous bugs, the Japanese did not abandon the chosen path. As a result, the list will soon be joined by Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
As there is little time left until the release of the game (the port will be released on July 26), its system requirements have hit the net. We present them below.

Considering how lovely the graphics Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart offers, the requirements - while not low - can be considered relatively PC-friendly.
It is worth noting that the above specs have not yet been officially confirmed by Sony, so the should be taken with a grain of salt (nevertheless, they looks very plausible). Perhaps later today on PlayStation blog there will be official information related to the PC version of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and we will be able to contrast them with the revealed requirements.
