To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Insomniac’s Ratchet & Clank franchise, Sony announced that it is adding five new games from its PlayStation 3 era to the PlayStation Plus Premium subscription service on November 15.
A few Ratchet & Clank games were already available on Sony’s revamped PS Plus service, but the update expands that list out significantly. Here’s the full list of games coming to the service.
It’s worth noting that PlayStation 3 games can only be streamed from the PlayStation Plus Premium service, not downloaded directly like how Xbox Game Pass games can operate.
Additionally, the PlayStation 5 game Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will receive a free 20th-anniversary armor pack today. It contains five armors that are inspired by different games in the franchise. The Commando Armor is inspired by Going Commando, Holoflux Armor inspired by Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Quest Armor inspired by Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty, Marauder Armor inspired by Deadlocked, and a Clank armor inspired by Ratchet’s robot companion.
Today, we’re celebrating 20 years of travel across space, time and dimensions with Ratchet & Clank!

The first Ratchet & Clank game launched in 2002 for the PlayStation 2 when Insomniac was still an independent developer. The studio is best known for working on the Ratchet & Clank and Spyro franchises. It also developed the PlayStation-exclusive first-person shooter series, Resistance. Insomniac created one Microsoft exclusive, Sunset Overdrive, for Xbox One and PC. Nowadays, Insomniac is most well-known for Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales for PS4 and PS5.
Currently, Insomniac is working on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and a new Wolverine game. The former is slated to release sometime in 2023 while the latter hasn’t received a definitive release window yet.

It’s still chasing that mix of heroics, petty crime, and dry British humor, only with modern action RPG muscle.
