PlayStation has terminated Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, its free-to-play mobile offshoot of the platforming franchise, one year after it commenced its soft launch.
The game’s concluding update was released on November 6, as stated on its official site. It will be removed from the App Store and Google Play on November 21, with its servers shutting down on May 1, 2027.
“We’ve made the challenging choice to halt development of Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble,” the announcement states.
Players can no longer use real currency in the game, and the previously charged Super Pass has been converted to free. Qwark Pass seasons will continue until the shutdown.
French studio Oh BiBi created Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble in collaboration with Insomniac Games. It initially soft-launched in November 2025 in the Philippines and Indonesia, later expanding to Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, France, Canada, and the UK. Global pre-registration commenced in July, but it never achieved a worldwide launch.
Ranger Rumble generated approximately $62,000 in player expenditure and 391,000 downloads across iOS and Android throughout its year in soft launch, based on AppMagic estimates.
Sony’s San Diego Studio has experienced more success with MLB The Show Mobile, which went global in May after a soft launch the previous October. AppMagic estimates it has generated $2.3 million from 1.9 million downloads.
Sony established ambitious mobile aspirations in 2022, telling investors that mobile titles would account for 10% of its first-party releases by March 2023 and 20% by March 2026. Later that year, it acquired mobile developer Savage Game Studios and enlisted executives from Apple, Kabam, Meta, and Tencent to develop a dedicated mobile sector.
Savage Game Studios – subsequently renamed Neon Koi – closed in October 2024 without launching a game, alongside the notable shutdown of Concord developer Firewalk Studios.
