Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble Shutting Down Less Than a Year After Launch

Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, a mobile spin-off of the beloved PlayStation series, has been abruptly canceled less than a year after its initial announcement. The game, developed by Oh BiBi in collaboration with Insonmiac Games and PlayStation Studios, is set to be officially shut down in May 2027. Despite being in a soft launch phase prior to its global release, the decision has been made to cease development altogether.

The final planned update, scheduled for November 6th, 2026, will be made available on November 21st, 2026, when the app will be removed from stores. Players who currently own the game will be able to continue playing until May 1st, 2027, after which the game's servers will permanently shut down. In an effort to accommodate players, in-app purchases have been removed, and players are advised to utilize any in-game rewards or currency before the game's closure.

For those seeking financial recourse, support for refunded purchases can be sought through Apple’s App Store or Google Play customer support. The game, which featured arena shooter-style action and characters from the series, was developed with input from the gaming community throughout its creation.
