PC Requirements for Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart Reveal No Need for SSD
Sony’s PC Port of Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart – Now Playable on Regular Hard Drives!
Sony has finally unveiled the official PC requirements for the highly anticipated Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart port, and the best part? The game is playable even on regular hard drives! Remember when Sony kept harping about how their game was only possible thanks to the PS5’s solid-state drive? Well, turns out, technological advancements have made it possible for the PC version to work on older hardware. Hallelujah!
According to Nixxes senior lead programmer Richard van der Laan, Rift Apart uses DirectStorage 1.2 and GPU decompression to load assets at lightning speed. DirectStorage ensures quick loading times, while GPU decompression lets the graphics card handle the heavy lifting, resulting in higher bandwidth for streaming assets. This means faster load times and more detailed textures and environments. Talk about a win-win!
But wait, there’s more! The PC port of Rift Apart is not just a simple copy-paste job. Nixxes has added another fancy lighting effect to the mix – ray-traced ambient occlusion. That’s right, you get gorgeously realistic environments with reflections, shadows, and occlusion. So buckle up, folks, because this PC version is set to blow your socks off!
