Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Under $30 Is a Must-Buy PS5 Deal

Some games age out of their price. Others just become better value every year. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is firmly in the second camp — and according to Slickdeals, Amazon currently has the PS5 physical edition for about $29.83, with free shipping via Prime or on $35+ orders.

Why I still recommend this game in 2026

I’ll say it plainly: Rift Apart remains one of the best “show off your PS5” games ever made. The instant dimension-hopping was built specifically around the console’s SSD, the ray-traced visuals still look gorgeous, and the DualSense trigger work on the weapons is some of the most satisfying haptic design on the platform. More importantly, it’s just a joyful game — colorful, funny, genuinely kind-hearted, and welcoming to every skill level. In a year full of 100-hour epics, a polished 12–15 hour adventure feels like a gift.

Deal snapshot

• Price: ~$29.83 at Amazon (physical PS5 disc)
• Typical value: launched at $69.99; commonly hovers higher outside sale events
• Shipping: free with Prime or on orders of $35+

Pros and cons

Pros

• A true technical showcase for PS5 hardware
• Family-friendly and accessible without being shallow
• Tight, respectful-of-your-time campaign with fun weapon progression
• Physical disc: lend it, sell it, keep it forever

Cons

• Little reason to replay beyond challenge mode for some players
• If you prefer digital libraries, watch PSN sales instead

Who should buy

Grab it if: you own a PS5 (especially with kids in the house), you skipped it at launch, or you want a spectacular palate-cleanser between big releases. At this price it’s an easy yes.

Skip it if: you’ve already finished it and don’t care about the collectible shelf appeal of a disc.

One extra thought: with the industry drifting toward all-digital, sub-$30 physical copies of first-party showcases are exactly the kind of thing worth owning on disc while you still easily can. Happy hunting.
