Alongside an update for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Insomniac Games has released a patch for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart to support the PS5 Pro when it launches on November 7th. It also features two new modes: Performance Pro and Fidelity Pro. The former targets 60 FPS, utilizing PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution for Fidelity mode-level image quality and enabling all ray tracing features.

Fidelity Pro targets 30 frames per second but allows for toggling different ray tracing options like RT Reflections, where the Medium setting renders reflections at half resolution for improved performance. Opting for High will render them at full resolution and improve reflection animations.

There’s also RT Ambient Occlusion, with Medium setting providing information to “augment” screen-space ambient occlusion and High adding on-screen global illumination bounces. Your mileage may vary depending on the scene, but you can also turn it off to improve performance.

Though Fidelity Pro can be fine-tuned for higher frame rates with Variable Rate Refresh or 120 Hz Display Mode, it also delivers finer hair details and more pedestrians and traffic in certain areas. Of course, there’s good news for base PS5 owners as well, as the patch addresses cinematics on Corson V where fur wetness was missing.
