Ratchet and Clank 2016 receives new update eight years after release

Ratchet and Clank has received a new update, eight years after its debut in 2016 on PS4.

The update adds fan-favourite weapon the Bouncer, which fires a bouncing grenade-like bomb that splits into smaller bouncing clusters upon explosion.

The weapon was previously seen in PS2 games Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal, as well as PS5 game Rift Apart.

The Bouncer was a pre-order bonus in 2016's Ratchet and Clank, but now has been made available for all as a free download.

Community and marketing director at Insomniac James Stevenson added he's been «trying to make this happen for like half a decade».

Been trying to make this happen for like half a decade. I couldn’t get it done. Tim couldnt get it there. But <a href=«https://twitter.com/TheAgentOfDoom?ref_src=» https:>@TheAgentOfDoom

finally pulled it off with our partners at PlayStation.

(I think he was extra motivated since he didn’t have the Bouncer on his save file tho
