This is a delightful and yet unexpected surprise. PlayStation exclusiveRatchet and Clankjust received a brand new update, eight years on from launch.
Yes, you heard me right.Ratchet and Clank, the 2016 release - not its successorRift Apart.Ratchet and Clankmay not be as polished as its sequel, but it’s still well worth playing.
The weapons, traversal techniques, and world designs excel, making it very easy to overlookRatchet and Clank’s not-always-successful film tie-in segments.

It undoubtedly set the stage though for the fantasticRift Apartwhich is, to this day, one of my favouritePlayStation 5games. I urge you to give it a whirl if you haven’t already but I digress.
Take a look atRatchet and Clank: Rift Apartin action below.
The update isavailable to downloadnow and introduces a new weapon into the game, the Bouncer.

It’s new toRatchet and Clank(2016) for most players but if you were enjoying this franchise back in the PlayStation 2 era, you may recognise the Bouncer fromGoing CommandoandUp Your Arsenal.
It also appears in the latestRift Apart. The weapon’s gimmick is that it essentially fires a series of bouncing bombs.
If you already have the Bouncer inRatchet and Clank,it was actually once available as a pre-order bonus but dev James Stevenson (community and marketing director at Insomniac) has since been campaigning to make it available to all players.
“Been trying to make this happen for like half a decade. I couldn’t get it done. Tim couldn’t get it there. But @TheAgentOfDoom finally pulled it off with our partners at PlayStation,” hewrote.
