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.

It actually does run better on a PS5, particularly the rift transitions. It's still a pretty good experience as long as you have the game installed on an NVME drive, but you still get hitches during those rift sequences that are nonexistent on PS5.
