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.

The best puzzle games on PS5

An upside-down level in manifold garden.,

Most of the best PS5 games include puzzle elements, but they aren't typically the main focus. These usually amount to a simple logic or physics obstacle used to break up the pacing and not actually cause you to sit and think for a few minutes to solve. Those of us who love a good head-scratcher are forced to find games where puzzle solving is the focus, and thankfully the PS5 has some of the most creative and challenging puzzle games ever made. These games play with space, language, perspective, and logic in ways that will force you to really flex your brain muscles to solve. In many ways, puzzle games are among the hardest video games ever made, but overcoming them comes down to pure intelligence rather than skill. If you need a new mental challenge, here are the best puzzle games on PS5.

If you have already managed to outsmart all of our picks, check to see what new puzzle games are coming in our list of upcoming PS5 games.

The best Roguelikes on PS5

As great as the best single-player games are, they all must come to an end. Sure, you can replay them and maybe get a secret ending, but they will essentially be the same experience as before. Roguelikes (and Roguelites) are games that are designed to be endlessly replayable. Each one approaches things a bit differently, but the most common element they all share is some level of random generation. This could be in the levels, enemies, items, and more, with most opting to randomize almost everything. That makes every run a new challenge that you can never fully predict. These games are some of the most addictive and best PS5 games you can play, but it is also a genre flooded with less-than-great options. We've sunk hundreds of hours into Roguelikes to pick out the best ones you can play on PS5 today.
