Ratchet & Clank: Rift apart will offer 4K / 30 FPS and 60 FPS resolution modes


Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will offer two resolution modes, 4K at 30 FPS and 60 FPS at lower resolutions. This is according to a Famitsu interview with Marcus Smith and Mike Daly of Insomniac Games, as spotted by Nibel on Twitter.

In the interview, Famitsu asks about the “supported frame rates and resolutions” for Ratchet & Clank: Rift separately, with Daly responding that the game will offer two separate modes for players to choose from to balance comfortable gameplay with stunning graphics. “One is 30 FPS at 4K resolution and the other is lower resolution at 60 FPS,” reads the translation.Later in the same interview, the interpreter mentions that the Ratchet and Clank series have set the 60 FPS benchmark through the PS2 games in favor of 30 FPS and better graphics for PS3 and PS4 players. With the PS5 release it appears that they are now giving players the choice between these two different styles.

During Opening Night Live, Rift Apart was confirmed as a “launch window” game for the PS5, and we got a better look at gameplay of the upcoming title of action-adventure. Back in June, it was confirmed that the female Lombax character from Rift Apart will be playable.
