Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart pre-load will begin on June 4 and weigh in at 33GB, it's been revealed.

In the tweet below, PlayStation Game Size, which catalogues the upcoming file sizes of games set to release on PlayStation systems, revealed the information for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. As we can see, the size of Insomniac's sequel will weigh in at around 33GB, although this might not include any potential Day One patches for the title. 

Additionally, the tweet above reveals that the pre-load for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart will begin on June 4. This is exactly one week before the game actually launches worldwide on June 11, so that's plenty of time to get the 33GB download initiated and installed on your PS5.

There are now less than two weeks to go until Insomniac's sequel finally arrives, and there's plenty of reasons to be excited about Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.

We'll also get to find out the story behind the mysterious female Lombax called Rivet. While Insomniac unveiled the brand new playable protagonist last year, fans were speculating over the nature of the character for a long time.
