What Is Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble?

Developed by Oh Bibi in collaboration with PlayStation Studios and Insomniac Games, Ranger Rumble is a free-to-play multiplayer arena shooter built specifically for mobile devices.

  • Additional multiplayer modes planned at launch.

The combination of PvP and PvE objectives is designed to keep matches varied while showcasing the franchise’s signature over-the-top weapons and colorful environments.


Pre-Registration Rewards

Players who pre-register before launch will contribute toward community milestones that unlock various in-game rewards.

Confirmed rewards include:

  • Qredits.
  • Reebos.
  • Raritanium.

Additional milestone rewards are expected to unlock as more players register ahead of the game’s worldwide release.


Global Launch Preparation

According to PlayStation, the development team has spent the past several months refining the game through regional soft launches in Canada, the Nordic countries, France, and parts of Asia. Feedback gathered during those tests has helped prepare Ranger Rumble for its upcoming global release.

While the rumored October launch date remains unofficial, fans can already secure their spot by pre-registering on mobile devices and unlocking exclusive launch rewards.
