Key Highlights:
- Insomniac releases new PC update v1.728.0.0 for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
- Fixes texture streaming, reflection, and ultra-wide visual issues
- Improves overall stability and optimisation across hardware setups
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, one of Insomniac’s biggest PlayStation 5 exclusives, finally made its way to PC earlier this month. While the port has been well received overall, some players encountered technical issues that needed ironing out. Insomniac has now released a new update, Version v1.728.0.0, to resolve several of these early problems.
The patch focuses on visual and performance improvements. It fixes low-resolution texture streaming bugs, adjusts water reflections when ambient occlusion isn’t set to SSAO, and removes an issue where the interact prompt would stay on-screen after use. Players using ultra-wide resolutions will also notice that weapon preview visuals at vendors now display correctly.
Patch Notes for v1.728.0.0 of Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
| Resolved texture streaming issues that could result in certain textures remaining low resolution. |
| Fixed visual issues with water reflections that occurred when ambient occlusion was set to anything other than SSAO. |
| Resolved an issue that caused the interact button prompt to remain visible on the screen. |
| Fixed a visual issue with weapon previews at the vendor when using ultra-wide resolutions. |
| Various bug fixes, stability improvements, and optimizations. |
The PC version of Rift Apart remains an impressive technical showcase. While early comparisons showed that Microsoft’s DirectStorage 1.2 couldn’t quite match the PS5’s dedicated SSD speed, Insomniac’s latest patch helps narrow that gap, improving stability and consistency across different hardware setups.
Since launch, the game has received positive feedback from both PC and Steam Deck players, with many praising the smoothness of the port. Despite slower sales than other PlayStation-to-PC releases such as God of War and Spider-Man Remastered, the game continues to hold strong among fans of Insomniac’s work.
With this latest patch, players can expect a more polished and reliable experience worthy of the Ratchet and Clank name, whether revisiting the game or diving in for the first time on PC.
