Some games are guaranteed to be a hit with consumers, and when they are also a console exclusive, we usually get a console/game bundle. And it looks as though Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is set to be the first game bundled with a PS5.
As VGC reports, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is set to launch as a PS5 exclusive on Friday, June 11. French news site Station of Play tweeted images of what looks to be a hardware bundle Sony is expected to release on the same day. It includes the disc version of the PS5 console, a DualSense controller, and a copy of the game, and was discovered listed as a product in the database of French retailer Boulanger.
The price is set at 570 euros, which is roughly $700. However, that will include additional sales tax. If this bundle launches in the US the price is likely to be closer to $570, although the chances of actually securing one is going to be low due to demand and will come down to pure luck in most cases.
Sales of the PS5 are thought to be double that of the Xbox Series X and Series S, and this bundle will surely help to at least maintain that lead for Sony. We can only imagine what scalpers will be charging for it if they manage to get their hands on stock. State of Play also claims France has been allocated up to 12,000 units of the bundle, which if true, will likely be mirrored across other countries in Europe. It would need to be significantly higher to cater to the US market, though.
