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.

Same with God of War (etc), i just have no investment in the franchise since none of the earlier ones were released on PC because Sony wanted the exclusivity. Now to PC gamers they release only the latest installment to an unfamiliar audience, years after the hype has burnt out, and everyone invested already had the chance to have played it? And they're surprised at a big "meh" response?
