Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble Shut Down Before Global Launch

Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is ending service in a little under a year after its debut, with the mobile offshoot of the main PlayStation franchise now canceled. The last update arrives today, and the game is set to close completely in May 2027. It had still been in soft launch, with a worldwide release planned later.

The team shared a tough decision to stop work on Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble. The last scheduled update goes live on November 6, 2026, and the app will be taken down from stores on November 21, 2026. Anyone who already has it installed can continue playing through May 1, 2027, when the servers will close for good. The message also thanked the community for its support, especially players who spent time in the game, offered feedback, and helped guide Ranger Rumble during development.

As part of the service being discontinued, in-app purchases have already been turned off, and players are being urged to spend any remaining rewards or currency before the game ends. The FAQ notes that anyone hoping for a refund on purchases should reach out to the Apple App Store or Google Play support.

The game delivered arena shooter-style combat with familiar characters from the series, and it was built by Oh BiBi together with Insomniac Games and PlayStation Studios. Just as recently as July, the PlayStation blog said the project was moving toward a global launch after a successful testing phase shaped by player input.
