Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart: Performance RT mode was a "last minute discovery"

As is common as many games, "Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart" also gave a day one patch for publication. Thus, among other things, another graphics mode has been added, which allows you 60 images per second with simultaneous rayTracing lighting.

This additional game mode was originally not planned. This revealed Mike Fitzgerald, Insomniacs Director of Core Technology, opposite the American news page axios.

It was even possible

Only a refresh rate of 30 fps was expected at a "relatively low resolution" with activated raytracing or 60 images per second at a high resolution without raytracing. But towards the end of the development, the interdisciplinary teams of Insomniac Games have found out thanks to close cooperation that even more is possible on the PS5.

The development on a new console is referred to by Fitzgerald as a permanent discovery process. Only shortly before the completion one learns how much power can be picked out of the hardware.

The guys of insomniac work until the end to reach the best possible performance of the game. Even after the publication, the quality will continue to be optimized: "There is no point, for example in the middle of the production where we say: 'OK, the engine is completed, good luck, people, makes your thing done and we go to the next Ding over. We use the entire nuclear technology team, which focuses on the quality of Ratchet & Clank until one month after publication. "

The developers themselves have put pressure on themselves because they have published for the launch of the new Sony console performance upgrades for their two "Spider-Man" levels. The fans expect further improvements to the next project. However, the developer team did not know how to create this with their first exclusive PS5 title. In the end, this increase has succeeded.
