Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart dimension hopping recreated in Dreams

Including super-fast transitions thanks to PS5

The dimension-hopping freefall of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has been replicated in Dreams, right down to nearly instantaneous load times.

The video shows one of Dreams' default player avatars (this one looks like a blue drawing figure) soaring, or perhaps falling, through more than a half dozen worlds. Some are beautiful landscapes, some are cyberpunk cityscapes, one is a dimension composed entirely of giant, smirking, blue-haired women - you know, the usual Dreams stuff.

The transitions between each massive scene are remarkably quick, with the screen briefly blurring then fading straight into the next dimension. You can even see what it looks like in VR (sort of anyway, it's still flat on your screen) thanks to another video shared by Nebelong.

While we've been watching with glee as load screens melt away ever since PS5 came out, many of the most impressive changes have come in big-budget PS5 exclusives. It's exciting to see smaller creators pulling off some phenomenal results with that super-fast SSD, too.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
