Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart system requirements revealed

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is scheduled to arrive on PC in just a week's time. With the looming release date, we finally have the first look at the game's PC system requirements, albeit from a leaked screenshot. Being one of the biggest and most ambitious PlayStation 5 titles, Insomniac Games' action-platformer comes with pretty hefty requirements.

While many players might've predicted to see higher than usual system requirements for the game, the actual PC specs are quite reasonable for a current-gen title. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is being ported over to PC by Nixxes Software, which has a rather impressive track record of polished PC titles.

Here are the official system requirements for Insomniac Games and Nixxes Software's upcoming PC title, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

What are the PC system requirements for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart?

According to the recently leaked screenshot of Nixxes Software's Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PC port, the game requires GTX 960 as the base-line GPU to just run the game, which clarifies the reasonable part. The hefty requirements come at the upper end of the GPU spectrum, as the game asks for an RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX for ultimate ray-tracing at 4k60fps.

Also, to no one's surprise, Nixxes highly recommends using a fast SSD. However, the game does ship with support for HDD, which is quite interesting. Here are all the system requirements for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, including minimum, recommended, high, amazing ray-tracing, and ultimate ray-tracing:

Minimum (720p@30fps)

• Graphics preset: Very Low
• OS: Windows 10 64-bit (1909 or higher)

Ultimate ray-tracing (4k@60fps)

• Graphics preset: High (ray-tracing on very high)
• OS: Windows 10 64-bit (1909 or higher)

• GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080/ AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

While the PC port does boast some really hefty system requirements, it does seem to be fairly optimized, considering the minimum requirements. However, since Nixxes and Insomniac are yet to reveal the requirements officially, players should exercise caution before pre-ordering the game.
