Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the latest PlayStation game ported to PC. While it got attention thanks to the use of DirectStorage 1.2, its launch numbers are quite unimpressive compared to SIE’s other first-party titles on Steam.

Launched on July 26, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart only peaked at 8,757 concurrent players (CCU) on Steam (via SteamDB).

It currently holds a “Very Positive” rating based on 670 user reviews, with 84% of them being positive.

This makes Rift Apart the third worst launch on PC for a PlayStation game, only above Returnal (6,691 CCU) and Sackboy: A Big Adventure (610 CCU). There is also a PC version of Helldivers, with 6,744 peak CCU, but its developer Arrowhead is not SIE’s first-party studio.

    I like it but it’s not that much fun. Usually I love getting home from work to play a new game but not with this one.

      What don’t you like about it? I’ve been enjoying the gameplay quite a bit. At least on the hardest difficulty it’s really dynamic and you have to keep moving.

        Honestly I’m not so sure. Gameplay feels a bit slugish, too many cutscenes in the first few hours so far especially because the story is so one dimensional. That’s how I feel about it if I try to name it.

        But hey that’s good if you like it. Enjoy it.

          Ah I totally get that. I definitely was not enjoying it as much in the beginning. I think the gameplay starts to pick up a bit more once you unlock more weapons though.
