By Tomas Franzese May 30, 2023

The next PlayStation exclusive to make its way to PC will be Insomniac Games’ Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. The port is developed by Nixxes Software and will release on July 26.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was first released in 2021 and serves as one of the PS5’s most impressive tech demos, as players can seamlessly hop between rifts to see the power of the PS5’s SSD in action. Now, we’ll get to see that gameplay gimmick in action on PC alongside all of the other bells and whistles one would expect from a first-party PlayStation PC port. It’ll be available on both Steam and Epic Games Store, and those who pre-order it will get the Corbonox Armor and Pixelizer weapon early in their playthrough. The port will cost $60 at release.

A PlayStation Blog post about this post port confirms that the PC version of Rift Apart will feature “ray-traced reflections with a variety of quality levels to choose from and newly added ray-traced shadows for natural light in outdoor areas,” in addition to performance and upscaling focused technologies like Nvidia DLSS 3, Reflex, and DLAA as well as AMD FSR 2, Intel XeSS, and Insomniac’s Temporal Injection technology. In addition to that, the game will support 21:9, 32:9, or 48:9 ultra-wide monitors and have full mouse and keyboard support.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is available now on PS5 and is part of the PlayStation Plus Extra game catalog. Its PC port will come out on July 26. Hopefully, this release is more in line with Marvel’s Spider-Man and God of War’s port quality than The Last of Us Part 1.

Helldivers 2 PC players are furious over this controversial change

Helldivers 2, February's surprise multiplayer hit from Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment, is now getting bombarded with negative reviews on Steam. That's because the game will soon require all PC players to link their Steam account to a PlayStation Network account.

Anyone who plays Helldivers 2 for the first time after May 6 will have to link a PlayStation Network account to Steam. Those who already own the game will also be required to do so by June 4 or they will no longer be able to access the game.

All upcoming PS5 games: 2024 and beyond

A furnace golem looms in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

The PlayStation 5 has been out for some time now, and its reception has been mostly positive. It includes lots of quality-of-life improvements over its predecessor, the PlayStation 4, such as faster load times, a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of a regular hard disk drive (HDD), and an improved controller in the form of the new DualSense. However, a console is only as good as the games available on it, and thankfully, the PS5 has you covered on that front as well.

While the machine already has a worthy library of great PS5 games, there are even more to look forward to, with some releasing as soon as this month, while others are still years away. In the video game world, it's not uncommon to be aware of games that are still several years out from release. It's also normal for a new game to be revealed and launched within just a couple of months. In this comprehensive list, we'll go through the major PS5 releases scheduled for 2023 and speculate on future games.
