Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart update adds 120 Hz display mode

... which doesn't equal 120FPS.

A new Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart update, patch v1.002, will add a 120 Hz display mode to the popular PS5 title.

The update doesn’t equate to 120FPS (frames-per-second); rather, it “reduces input latency when using a compatible display,” Insomniac Games confirmed.

“In this mode, the frame rate target for the Fidelity graphics mode increases to 40 frames per second,” the developer continued.

Full patch notes can be found below.

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart is available now on PS5; we reviewed it here.
