They haven't announced system requirements yet, but with Nixxes at the helm it should be a good port.

God dammit Sony. I bought the game two months ago and platinumed it only for them to port it to PC shortly after. I swear it feels like they're watching me waiting for me to beat their games and platinum them before porting to PC just to torture me and my wallet.

They're damn lucky I really love this game and I will probably double dip and get all the achievements again just like I did with Spider-Man, only this time playing it on a Steam Deck portably and to see how the game looks on low spec.

On the bright side, it's time to harvest delicious Sony Pony salt 😈

I'm not surprised, they're moving towards doing this with all of their exclusives. I'm actually playing this on the PS5, and its a fun game.

Wonder if that's actual game play graphics. Looks like Disney animated movie.

As far as I know the cut scenes are all in engine, so yeah that you see is "gameplay" or at least the game play doesn't look any different.

It is real gameplay. Rift Apart is that good. Insomniac Games is regarded as the best PlayStation Studio for a reason, as they go above and beyond visually and gameplay. Since the PS5 uses an SSD they can have everything preloaded so everything is fast. allowing you to jump dimensions instantly

You want the best example of Insomniac's amazing game design, play Spider-Man Remastered, the best superhero game ever made, a game so visually beautiful and plays so fluidly that as you play you feel like you're actually Spider-Man.

Given some of the things they mentioned in that press release (DLSS3/FSR2, XeSS support, ultrawide display support with reimagined graphics to accomodate wider screens are some big ones), I have a feeling it will require higher specs than many R&C fans would like.

Yeah that is probably going to be the case.

The system requirements are not that bad. Though the latest AMD driver has a bug that causes the game to crash if RT is enabled (siiiigh).

Has anyone given this a go yet (though Steam says it unlocks at 11AM EDT)?

Here's the requirements
This was a great game on the PS5, though I don't see any need/desire to buy it for the PC.

I have zero desire ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have a PS5, that handles most of my gaming needs, and for PC stuff, I have my gaming PC.

Boom I just saved 400-500 bucks

Oh man the SATA SSD is not a great experience. Though it is hard to say if the low end specs are helping or hurting.

Wait, I use a SATA SSD. Oh god...

Well what about MicroSD? Does it run good off of that?

Off a microSD it doesn't exactly seem quick for the rift parts.

Well good thing my Steam Deck is the 512gb model so I'll just load from NVMe then.

Looks like Digital Foundry is recommending holding off on playing for a short time - until the bugs get patched. Overall, it looks like a solid port of the PS5 game to the PC
