The PS5 has a lot of great games, but Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is arguably the only one that takes full advantage of everything the console has to offer. From lightning-fast load times to subtle DualSense haptic feedback, Rift Apart is a veritable showcase for every signature PS5 feature, as well as a teriffic game in its own right. As part of a substantial Memorial Day sale, you can currently get Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart for $39 on Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s $30, or more than 40%, off its usual $70 price.
While Amazon’s deal is specifically for the physical version of Rift Apart, PS5 Digital owners need not worry. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is also currently $39 on the PlayStation Store (opens in new tab), meaning you can also download the game at a steep discount. It’s not clear how long the Amazon sale will last, but the PSN promotion runs until June 9.

“Ever since Sony first announced the PS5, the company has hinted that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart would be the system's first flagship game — and it is,” we wrote. The game concerns intergalactic adventurers Ratchet and Clank, who go on a dimension-hopping adventure to foil their frequent nemesis, Dr. Nefarious. Of course, nothing goes as planned for anyone involved, as a bevy of new heroes and villains provide a series of delightful complications.
If you’ve never played the series before, Ratchet & Clank is a third-person action/adventure game with big focuses on exploration, combat and puzzles. The weapon variety is one of the game’s main selling points since you can equip everything from the Burst Pistol, a standard ray gun, to the Topiary Sprinkler, which turns unwitting foes into grassy lawn fixtures. At $40, the game is well worth a shot for any PS5 owner.
