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.

    The little to no marketing is also really hurting them. I didn’t even know until well after it was out that Returnal was even getting a PC release - the first I heard of it was news of its disappointing sales. Same with Ratchet and Clank - first I heard they weren’t sure how they’d port it because of memory demands, then this now about the low number of players. Like. If no one knows it’s coming out (or even has come out until there’s bad press), no one’s gonna buy your game.

      Little to no marketing is spot on. I heard it was gonna come out through social media.
      I heard it came out when I stumbled upon it on torrent site
