Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart on PS5 Pro - a straight upgrade for the performance RT mode


Digital Foundry investigates Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart preview code on PS5 Pro. Does the new Pro mode compare favourably for Fidelity and Perf RT?

Combining beautiful animation, fantastic modelling, and excellent lighting tech - including a pioneering implementation of RT reflections - the game still ranks among the best-looking titles on the platform. One possible side effect of the updated reflections is that they tend to suffer from more ghosting than their PS5 counterparts, so moving objects or camera movements can lag behind a bit more obviously than on PS5. However, the loss of RT reflections in Ratchet's glossy sci-fi environments renders it a less-than-ideal option, and I think that difference alone makes it hard to compare to the new performance Pro mode.
