The game was specifically designed to make use of the PlayStation 5's power and its fast Solid State Drive. Because of that, it brought many technical advantages to the game, such as large amounts of enemies and seamless jumps between dimensions. It also became the first game of the series to have no loading screens.
This is the first main-line Ratchet & Clank game to not feature Jim Ward as Captain Qwark, having been replaced by Scott Whyte. Funnily enough, Scott Whyte voices former PlayStation mascot Crash Bandicoot in "Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time".
The game is not sequel to Ratchet & Clank (2016), but is a direct sequel to Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus (2013)
