Sony recently confirmed a few games that were originally only announced for the PlayStation 5 would also be getting a release on the PlayStation 4. The games getting a cross-generation release includes Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, and Sackboy A Big Adventure.
This has meant some people have wondered if Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart would be getting a release on PS4 as well. However, developer Insomniac Games via Twitter says the game is a PS5 exclusive.
Sony plans to keep the PS4 community happy with continued support for the next couple of years. "It is crucial that we keep them engaged and happy," said PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan at the time. "And the last six months have demonstrated that we could do that to an extent that we didn't think possible when we were setting our minds pre-COVID."
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will release for the PlayStation 5 in its "launch window."

It is good to have confirmation, dunno how many cuts would be necessary to make it work on PS4.
Considering one of the main features of the game requires extremely fast loading times, I don’t find this at all surprising.
by the looks of it the ps4 is not powerful enough in the load time dept
Interesting they didn't say it cannot be done on PS4 HDD..
It's an answer to a random dude on Twitter, not a high-profile announcement. I don't find it that interesting they didn't say it's not possible on PS4. Besides, it's probably possible on PS4 but would also require some heavy changes to keep it enjoyable.
