In a delightful surprise for gaming enthusiasts, PlayStation and Insomniac Games have announced a free giveaway for all PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 users in celebration of the eighth anniversary of the 2016 reboot of Ratchet & Clank. Remarkably, this gift does not require a PlayStation Plus membership to claim, making it accessible to an even broader audience.
Insomniac Games, renowned for their creation of Marvel’s Spider-Man and its sequel, initially captured fans’ hearts with the Ratchet & Clank series, known for its engaging gameplay and vibrant graphics. The 2016 reboot of the original Ratchet & Clank game, which received universal acclaim and a perfect score from GAMINGbible, is once again in the spotlight as the studio commemorates its release.
To mark the occasion, PlayStation and Insomniac are offering the original pre-order bonus weapon from the game — the Bouncer — as a free download. “Bounce back to Ratchet & Clank (2016) for its eighth anniversary,” Insomniac Games stated in a celebratory tweet. “To celebrate, the Bouncer is now available to download at no additional cost.”
Ratchet & Clank (2016) is also available on PlayStation Plus and has been optimized for PlayStation 5, running at a smooth 60fps. This enhancement makes revisiting the game, or experiencing it for the first time, an enticing proposition. The game is especially renowned for its inventive arsenal of weapons, each offering unique and often humorous effects that add to the charm and replayability of the gameplay.
The Bouncer itself is a fan-favorite weapon known for its bouncing bombs that cause havoc among enemy ranks in the most entertaining ways. Insomniac’s playful reminder to “use responsibly” underscores the lighthearted and fun spirit of the game.
This free offer not only celebrates the legacy of Ratchet & Clank but also serves as a testament to Insomniac Games’ continued commitment to their fan base, providing both new players and longtime fans alike an opportunity to dive back into the beloved universe of one of the most iconic duos in video game history.
