Sony Cancels Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, Shuts Down in May 2027

Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Oh BiBi have cancelled Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, a free-to-play mobile multiplayer shooter based on the Ratchet & Clank series. The game will be removed from mobile stores on November 21, 2026, and its servers will permanently shut down on May 1, 2027, after which it will no longer be playable.

Cancellation and shutdown timeline

Ranger Rumble was announced in November 2025 and described as a "fast-paced multiplayer platformer arena shooter." It was developed by French mobile studio Oh BiBi in partnership with Insomniac Games and published by PlayStation. The game soft-launched in November 2025 in the Philippines and Indonesia, then expanded to Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, France, Canada and the UK. It never received a full worldwide release.

The final update rolled out on November 6, 2026. The game will be delisted from the App Store and Google Play Store on November 21, 2026. Servers will shut down on May 1, 2027.

What the companies said

On the game’s official website, the team said: "We’ve made the difficult decision to cease development of Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble." The statement also reads: "On behalf of the dev team and everyone helping to make the game, thanks to our amazing community for all your support, especially to those who have spent time playing, sharing feedback, and helping shape Ranger Rumble throughout its development!"

The official statement does not give a reason for the cancellation.

End-of-service details

In-app purchases have been removed, and the Super Pass is now free to all players. Qwark Pass seasons will continue to run until the shutdown on May 1, 2027. Players who already have the game installed can continue playing until the servers shut down, earning rewards through play and spending in-game currency on upgrades, cosmetics, characters and currencies. New players will not be able to download the game after November 21, 2026.

Background on the franchise

Ratchet & Clank was created in 2002 by Insomniac Games. The franchise’s last console release was Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart in 2021. Insomniac has not formally announced a new Ratchet & Clank game. Neither Sony nor Insomniac has said anything about the main series as part of this announcement, so the cancellation affects the mobile spin-off only.
