Sony Interactive Entertainment, Insomniac Games, and Nixxes Software have announced Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is Stem Deck Verified.
In order for a game to be Steam Deck Verified it needs to meet four requirements:
- Input - The title should have full controller support, use appropriate controller input icons, and automatically bring up the on-screen keyboard when needed
- Display - The game should support the default resolution of Steam Deck (1280×800 or 1280×720), have good default settings, and text should be legible.
- Seamlessness - The title shouldn’t display any compatibility warnings, and if there’s a launcher it should be navigable with a controller.
- System Support - If running through Proton, the game and all its middleware should be supported by Proton. This includes anti-cheat support.

I played it and it runs well. There is a small delay when jumping through some of the Rifts but it's not too bad. Digital foundry did a video comparing the loading times of different SSD's and HDD's and i can definitely see why this game wasn't on PS4. That hdd would've resulted in a pretty poor experience.
Yet it runs on a base HDD on PC..
I was talking specifically about the PS4 HDD. Because it is slower than those HDD's they tested on... and you can see the game stuttering and having slowdowns even on the PC HDD's.
Well well well ain't that a treat!
But base Steam Decks only use eMMC storage space and Insomniac clearly stated it cannot be achieved without the PS5 SSD..?
