Ratchet & Clank fans can look forward to a free DLC for the 8th anniversary, announced by Insomniac Games.
These are the occasions celebrating the release of the PS4 version on April 12, 2016, a true milestone for the series. All owners of the game will therefore receive the pre-order DLC, The Bouncer, which drops a bouncing bomb that splits into several smaller exploding bomblets. The weapon was originally introduced in "Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando" and was subsequently only available as a pre-order bonus. The Bouncer is available from Gadgetron vendors for 100 bolts.
In the announcement on X The Bouncer can be seen in action.
Bounce back to Ratchet & Clank (2016) for its 8th anniversary! To celebrate, the Bouncer is now available to download at no additional cost. 🎉

Complete your arsenal and revisit the re-imagining of the duo's first outing, now in 60fps on PlayStation 5 (via update)! # RatchetPS4 pic.twitter.com/4VX4d1D4Lx
The DLC is also available to everyone who plays "Ratcht & Clank" on the PS5, which was later released as an optimized version. This version enabled features such as 60fps and a comprehensive graphical overhaul.
In our review We came to the following conclusion back then:
"Ratchet and Clank are back. And better than ever! Over the years, the dynamic duo has clearly gained experience, and in this latest installment, they combine many of the best aspects to make a strong comeback on PlayStation 4. The captivating story, lighthearted humor, and boundless creativity will keep players entertained late into the night. The incredibly stunning graphics and the preservation of the beloved classics that define this series are particularly noteworthy."
Also available for PS5 is “Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart”, which uses the technology behind it to offer a seamless and cinematic experience.
Lol, FOMO at its finest! I admit that I bought Ratchet & Clank out of boredom back then, and it was on sale, and later I regretted not buying it on day one. I was even thinking of getting a code from eBay.
