Why is Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart not on PS4?
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart was one of the most awaited games in the Ratchet and Clank series.

Furthermore some fans raised the problem from the current generation PlayStation5’s controller with a slightly older generation not supporting controllers due to updated controllers features (M.Parker) at the Game Developers Convention-2025.
