Third worst Playstation PC launch
What could be the reason for that?

Platformers never sell well on PC, especially when they're full priced. Just look at the numbers for Sackboy or Psychonauts 2 lol. It's a miracle this game reached even 8.7k peak players. I wasn't expecting it to exceed 5k.

Don't be surprised if this is the first and last R&C game that ever hits PC lol.

its not about platformer, its about SOny, any game assoicated with sony first party nd some cases even third party are ensured to look bad, run extremely poor nd require allot of horsepower to run on pc. Sony associated ports will never look better on pc for some reason eventhough PC has allot of headroom to improve visual quality of a game, same happend with HZD, Days Gone, GOW, Spiderman, Uncharted 4, Last of Us p1 nd Ratchet nd Clank, FF7 remake, Forspoken, its very clear what their approach is.

The funny thing is also, they put zero effort to make these port run solid nd yet they will ensure it will look bad on pc, Horizon zero dawn for example had missing snow deformation, locked 30fps animation of grass nd other assets, bad textures nd broken visual settings nd more. Horizon zero danw is the first nd last sony associated port I bought, it took them about 9 months to fix the missing snow deformation on pc, they ask premium for extremely bad pc ports.

I learned my lesson, nd im very certain many others learned their lesson too, thats why the playerbase on steam is not high.

its a missed opportunity, cuz the game looks fun, but thats not the only factor to justify a purchase, so avoid it at all cost, dont buy product thats made to run bad nd look worse then a console.

Or it's to do with how the release has 0 marketing behind it.
They're expecting it to spread via word of mouth like crash

Sony urgently needs to stop releasing its games on PC. Why waste energy and resources for such poor sales on PC.

yall talkin about the release on pc is trash or the game in general cuz of performance problems but for me the game runs smooth on max settings 160fps(?), makes fun and is a nostalgia hyperfest. you guys dont want any other sequel but some people beg for a remastered r&c triology classics like me

The very positive reviews say otherwise and it plays amazingly smooth without any crashes or stuttering.

And more people may buy it if they hang around youtube and other social media sites long enough when they see how good it looks and how smooth it plays.

I was surprised on how low Knack numbers were. It was actually a really interesting game.

It was in the top 5 best selling games on Steam at one point.

They really need to up their marketing efforts on these ports if they expect it to have great launch numbers

They launch hot and broken while using customers as beta testers.

Compared to The Last of Us, Ratchet & Clank is very polished. Not perfect of course but in a much better state than TLoU. It's so satisfying to play a game on launch that has no shader compilation stutter and traversal stutter, on top R&C has perfect ultra wide support. I really enjoy it on my 32:9 monitor.

They’re laughing all the way to the bank, these ports are almost entirely profit and despite the low number of concurrent users the game is selling very well.

any console port nowadays if you dont have the best PC specs is going to be a pin in the ass to run. My guess is some people are tired of that and have stopped buying ♥♥♥♥ they cant run.
