PS5 exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will officially run on Steam Deck

But again,

Rift Apart

was supposedly a PS5 exclusive for

reasons

— and even the game’s minimum PC system requirements originally suggested you’d need a

desktop

Radeon RX 470 or better for 720p resolution at 30 frames per second when they were revealed two weeks back. Those desktop graphics cards aren’t directly comparable to the Steam Deck’s integrated GPU, but

benchmark charts

suggest they’d be a tier above in raw performance.

Perhaps

Rift Apart

has been particularly well optimized for the Deck’s custom AMD “Aerith” chip? Maybe it relies heavily on AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution and actually runs below 720p but with intelligent static upscaling.

All

Valve

is promising with the Steam Deck Verified badge is that it’s spot-checked the game — it launches and runs relatively smoothly at the developer’s default settings.
