Sony released ‘Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart’ on Steam on July 26, peaking at less than 9 thousand PC players compared to PlayStation success.

It is not really my type of game. But surprised others didn’t like it.

Bad experience with Steam? What happened?

I have a PS5 and Linux PC with mainly Steam on it. Both connected to my big TV and sound system. I have gotten super cheap games as well as free games. Works great with my Xbox controller too.

Ratchet is my favorite series.

I haven’t loved a new Ratchet game since A Crack in Time, from 2009. Not that the last 3 games were terrible, but I haven’t enjoyed them nearly as much.

I like the original few but it just feels drawn out and forced now. But maybe it’s because I’m old now and no longer it’s demographic

I’d agree with you back when they were pumping out half-games on the PS3/PSP. This felt like a fresh entry for the first time since the PS2.

Played and am loving it

Pirated it, though, Sony don’t get full price cash for hiding their games away on their console first, especially since Bloodborne is still hiding away from PC almost a decade later

This exactly why Sony doesn’t put games on steam day one.

So people desperately wanting them will pirate them?

I don’t know what you mean. If Sony doesn’t make money porting games they will stop doing it. They started doing it as an experiment. They don’t need the PC market.

No, that’s to entice people to buy it on their console and marketplace so they can make greater profit off of people

Sony doesn’t want to lose console sales so they put it on PC later for people who will never buy a PS5. It’s unlikely that they will sell on PC day one unless they sales were so good it was worth changing strategies. Xbox changed strategies after seeing how well their PC ports sold.

They used to never port stuff to PC. They will stop making ports if people don’t buy them. They don’t need the PC market, they have lasted two decades without it.

Personally, I’m waiting until it doesn’t cost $80

Are you implying that people might not be fully onboard with paying full price for a bad port of a two year old 9th sequel to a franchise where none of the other games are on the platform? Those are bold words cotton.

Its more likely that pc users just dont want any of the PlayStation exclusives to come to pc… /s

I don’t think there was any big desire for this on PC? At least compared to other Sony exclusives like God of War or Final Fantasy XVI. Also since it’s a game aimed at kids I would say they have a bigger user base on PS5. Kids on PC are more likely to play Roblox, Fortnite or other free to play games I guess?

Good points. And I guess more adults have PCs.

Ratchet and clank games have been around a while man. I’m most definitely not a kid and I got the game as soon as I found out it was available. It was a lot of fun on ps5 and I’m looking forward to playing it on the steam deck.

Sorry, didn’t mean anything bad by it. I haven’t played a Ratchet and Clank game since the ps2 so I’m not too sure what the series is like now? I thought that this game would be more geared toward families or kids? Doesn’t mean other people can’t enjoy it too of course. I enjoy plenty of media that would be intended for a younger audience
