Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart peaks at less than 9k concurrent players on Steam, third worst PC launch for PlayStation game | Game World Observer

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.

Launched on July 26, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart only peaked at 8,757 concurrent players (CCU) on Steam (via SteamDB).

It currently holds a “Very Positive” rating based on 670 user reviews, with 84% of them being positive.

This makes Rift Apart the third worst launch on PC for a PlayStation game, only above Returnal (6,691 CCU) and Sackboy: A Big Adventure (610 CCU). There is also a PC version of Helldivers, with 6,744 peak CCU, but its developer Arrowhead is not SIE’s first-party studio.

    A little disappointing but honestly not a shock.

    I think TLOU has more people wary of Sony PC ports despite nixxes handling it and releasing the game at full price for a two year old port probably didn’t help either. Plus R and C has always been a bit more niche series.

    Hopefully this won’t deter future releases and honestly I’m fully enjoying the game at full price since me and the wife have been long time fans of the series and all of you patient gamers, you’ll have a good one on your hands.
