PlayStation has ended development of Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, a free-to-play mobile game based on its platforming series, a year after it began soft launching. The game will be removed from App Store and Google Play on November 21, with its servers shutting down on May 1, 2027. The studio, Oh BiBi, developed the title in partnership with Insomniac Games.
Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble generated about $62,000 in player spending and 391,000 downloads during its year-long soft launch in select regions. Sony had set ambitious mobile gaming targets, aiming for mobile titles to account for 10% of first-party releases by March 2023 and 20% by March 2026. The company has laid off mobile studio Neon Koi and faced the closure of another mobile developer, Firewalk Studios, but its mobile earnings primarily come from Sony Music's Aniplex division, with mobile apps generating $4.9 billion in revenue to date.
