PlayStation has released the PC specs for the upcoming port of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and the good news is, you don’t need all that crazy of a rig to run it at the lower or medium spec. In fact, the kind of PC required to extract standard performance out of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is quite reasonable. It’s when you start adding the extra graphical bells and whistles like ray-tracing that the spec demand jumps rather dramatically (though this is obviously to be expected).
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart marks the first major outing on PC for the long-standing PlayStation duo. The game launched early in the PS5’s life, a showcase for its graphical power and its rapid SSD streaming capabilities. It’s also a great little game and wholesome fun for the entire family.
