That game launched at a budget price (£30 vs £70 for Rift Apart), and Rift Apart also has to contend with the football and the hot weather in the UK.Įven so, in terms of revenue, it is the biggest Ratchet & Clank launch so far, by quite a big margin. For starters, PS4 sales were almost four times that of PS5. That game sold 29% more units in its first week than the new game, although things were very different back then. It's the second biggest launch for a Ratchet & Clank game behind the 2016 PS4 remake of the original.

It is the second biggest PS5 boxed launch so far, behind Spider-Man: Miles Morales (which was also developed by Insomniac) but ahead of Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The game sold three times more at launch than the last PS5 exclusive Returnal, although that was a more specialist title. The action platformer has sold in-line with similar exclusive releases this year, including Nintendo Switch games New Pokémon Snap and Monster Hunter: Rise.

PS5 exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was comfortably No.1 in the UK boxed charts.
