PlayStation has canceled Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, its free-to-play mobile spin-off of the platforming series, a year after it entered soft launch.
The game’s final update rolled out on November 6, according to a statement on its official website. It will be delisted from the App Store and Google Play on November 21, and its servers go offline on May 1, 2027.
“We’ve made the difficult decision to cease development of Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble,” the statement reads.
Players can no longer spend real money in the game, and the previously paid Super Pass has been made free. Qwark Pass seasons will keep running until shutdown.
French studio Oh BiBi developed Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble in partnership with Insomniac Games. It initially soft-launched in November 2025 in the Philippines and Indonesia, and later expanded to Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, France, Canada, and the UK. Global pre-registration opened in July, but it never received a worldwide release.
Ranger Rumble generated around $62,000 in player spending and 391,000 downloads across iOS and Android during its year in soft launch
Sony’s San Diego Studio has had more success with MLB The Show Mobile, which launched globally in May after a soft launch the previous October. AppMagic estimates it has brought in $2.3 million from 1.9 million downloads.
Sony set out ambitious mobile targets in 2022, telling investors that mobile titles would make up 10% of its first-party releases by March 2023 and 20% by March 2026. Later that year, it acquired mobile developer Savage Game Studios and hired executives from Apple, Kabam, Meta, and Tencent to build out a dedicated mobile division.
Savage Game Studios – later renamed Neon Koi – closed in October 2024 without releasing a game, alongside the high-profile closure of Concord developer Firewalk Studios.
Sony’s biggest mobile earners sit outside PlayStation, at Sony Music-owned Aniplex, publisher of Fate/Grand Order and Disney Twisted-Wonderland. AppMagic estimates the Sony group’s mobile apps have grossed $4.9 billion to date, with 88% of that coming from Japan.
