Despite this age, the new edition will soon receive another update. Insomniac Games announced this recently via Twitter. The release of the update is currently planned for April 2021, there is no specific date yet.
After all, it is already clear what exactly the patch will bring with it. Accordingly, even after installing the update, it will be possible to play Ratchet & Clank (buy now € 29.99) on the PS5 at 60 frames per second. This option does not yet exist.
