Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart Sold Almost 4 Million Units

New data from the recent ransomware attack on Insomniac reveals that Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart sold nearly 4 million copies.

CrashMania508d ago

And zeref was running around all day saying it lost 8 million, turns out it made around 64 million in profit lmao.

Cacabunga506d ago

As much as i loved the trailers before release, this game felt like a major disappointment to me on many aspects.. the first and most important is the big lack of variety almost for the first time in the series. Weapons are so boring, levels are very classic and gadgets all deja vu.

The hack with Clank felt also very clumsy and very frustrating and the world is still classic with level select. I dont understand why not use SSD to move from level to another with no break.
This game is worst R&C i have played (i platinumed every single one of them).. into the nexus on PS3 was far more enjoyable than this one.

--Onilink--508d ago

Its not like the number was made up by anyone here… it was included in a report from the same hacked files.

Where are you coming up with 64 million ?

--Onilink--508d ago

Cool, thanks for the link. Nice to see it looks like it did make a profit, really love the R&C games and would hate for them them to go away.

CrashMania508d ago (Edited 508d ago )

Well, certain people jumped the gun and failed to take in to account that particular slide was dated from 2020 and was just a projection, running with it like it was already a done deal and a failure.

--Onilink--508d ago

True, though I would argue just as many people ran with it for the positive numbers of Spiderman as well haha.

I would also argue that just the date on the file is not actually enough to make any assumptions on what it was used for or how accurate it could be, its not like its uncommon to see a file continuously updated over a long period of time.
Same with these new numbers, all these hacked details really lack a lot of context to try to use them to come up with definitive numbers for anything, so ídeally all these sites should report them in a more responsible manner (if they decided to report on them at all, which is a whole different topic)

Crows90508d ago

It's a projected number...that's exactly what a mad up number is...lol

shinoff2183508d ago

He ain't showing up for this one

wiz7191508d ago

@Crash so it only made $64M back but had a budget of $81M lol seems like they’re still in the negatives my boy by $17M

Plague-Doctor27508d ago

It cost $81 million to make and it sold $145 million by mid 2022. Hence $64 million in profit, and only more since then.

shinoff2183508d ago

Wiz you tried to hard. 64 mill looks like was profitable. For then to say profit they would've already took off the cost

badz149507d ago

@wiz7191

do you even know what a profit is?

wiz7191507d ago

@Badz @Shinoff yeah I do lol but it’s obvious you three goof troops don’t. It’s only made $73M in revenue with a budget of $81M that’s a $8M loss .. my numbers was a little off but still a loss lol

wantedboys507d ago

When you share a link read it first lol

"UPDATE 12/19: New sales information has revealed Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart was profitable for Insomniac. In addition, the leaked data was reportedly from before the launch of the game's PC port."

wiz7191507d ago

@wanted bro how much more you think it sold on PC when its struggling to hold more then 9K concurrent players on stream .. also if it was profitable like yall say why did Sony put the next on pause so Insomniac can focus on marvel IPs ??

Not bad for an exclusive platformer

Sony needs to take more chances and do other platformers aswell as bringing old ones back, especially Jak and Daxter.

pixlz507d ago

Knack 1 was rough.
Knack 2? Surprisingly fun time. Had a lot of fun with it. It was a great game to start introducing my son into gaming.

Also not an Insomniac game. That was Marc Cerny and "Japan Studio". I'd be down for a current gen sequel, it'd be interesting to see what they'd do.

RedDevils508d ago

I prefer Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter I platinum it twice so I probably don't care about that game anymore.

DarXyde508d ago

Sly Cooper is a tough one for me. Great game, but Sucker Punch has evolved so much as a studio that it feels like their talents are underutilized by returning to the franchise.

Ghost of Tsushima was so damn good that I see great potential beyond Sly Cooper.

babadivad508d ago

Isn't this on PC or am I thinking of something else?

ziggyzinfirion508d ago

It was indeed released on PC this year 2023 but that 4 Million count, base on the article, was from its initial launch 2021 up until following 2022 which all came from PlayStation 5 alone.

itsmebryan508d ago (Edited 508d ago )

I may get R&C on my PC once I clear up my gamepass backlog.

Barlos507d ago

They need to give us a full on Astro game

pixlz507d ago (Edited 507d ago )

I'd take an HD up rezzed version of the Resistance Trilogy please. One of my favorite FPS shooters during the PS3 era.

Honestly, I can't think of an Insomniac game I've not liked(my exception is that I've never played Sunset which looked fun, but I couldn't justify an XBone purchase back then either).

Gimmie more! LoL.

Curious as to the release order of these currently leaked things. Spidey 2 DLC... Ratchet sequel, Venom standalone... Spidey 3 will almost certainly be Next Gen at this point.

Berenger508d ago

Absolutely love the franchise! Glad to see it still holding strong.

Storm23508d ago

Same. I have loved every entry since the PS2 days. It has been an important series in my gaming life.

Leeroyw508d ago

I have only four platinums. From software games and this. It was a joy to play start to finish. Pure video game goodness.

These are great, wholesome games that are just a blast. I always recommend these games to parents and everyone loves them. I wish they were working on another.

How ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Did Dual Protagonists Right (And Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Didn’t)

Shaz from Pixel Swish: “Both Insomniac Games and Ubisoft have given us games with dual protagonists. However, where Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart’s duo feel exactly the same, Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s Yasuke and Naoe feel unique.”

They are exactly the same because it's another version of Ratchet within the multiverse. It's not Ratchet himself or a female version of him but it's someone else who's taken his place / role within that Universe.

The_Hooligan43d ago

Agreed! A better comparison take would have been between AC Syndicate and AC Shadows.

gold_drake45d ago

with ratchet, they are the same, they play the exact same.

im not even sure why this needs to be said, we all know.

isarai45d ago

They weren't trying to make them play differently, literally 2 versions of the same person. Wo ur saying they failed at something they never set out to do 🤨

Profchaos43d ago

What in the f who even thought of that concept and connect these two games that released years apart and have nothing to do with each other.

You could of said fuel protagonist vs other times where AC did duel protagonist or a game like GTA v that allows for on the fly switching

Like how desperate are they for clicks

Levii_9243d ago

Rivet's character was more useless and forced than Abby from TLOU2.

MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol? Also remeber how a beloved vilain Dr Neferious was reduced to a braindead wimp and a parody of himself?

P_Bomb43d ago

“MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol?”

It’s still going on. Especially @ Marvel.

Our First Look At FSR 4? AMD's New AI Upscaling Tech Is Impressive

DigitalFoundry : Running on AMD's new Radeon 9070-series GPUs at CES 2025, a machine learning upscaling demo of Sony's Ratchet and Clank is almost certainly FSR 4 AI upscaling - and as it's running on Ratchet and Clank - our 'go to game' for AI upscaling quality tests, we could really put the tech through its paces. Oliver and Alex are at the show - and this is their report.

They're saying better than PSSR! Impressive.. guess it's really close to Nvidia's solution. I'm interested in seeing how the 9070XT or whatever their highest end card will perform, we already know AMD are only aiming for the mid range (or upper mid range) with these new cards but it will still be interesting to see how they compare to a 5070Ti on price/performance.

But certain apps don't play well with AMD that do with Nvidia cards, shame because these cards could be great/price performance.. but not an issue for pure gamers.

883130d ago

Visually it may well be similar to DLSS, but they were quick to point out that they do not have any actual performance data at this point. Time will tell, but it is definitely promising and good to see them impressing.

Psychonaut85130d ago

Interesting. Since AMD is largely behind PSSR, they’ve now sort of have two different upscalers in play. Curious to see how it all pans out.

piroh177d ago

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic176d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23176d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger167d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.
