According to to PlayStation Blog posted on May 30, just like on the PS5, “The PC version of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart features ray-tracing reflections’ in addition to ‘newly added ray-tracing shadows for natural outdoor light’.

Personally I think Rift Apart is a wacky, surprisingly beautiful game, and I really hope it translates well to PC. Similarly, in a my city reviewwriter John Walker said this Rift Apart is “mind-blowingly mind-boggling.”
“With a dearth of next-gen releases and a focus on rendering dark-dark frowning human faces, seeing what the PS5 is capable of here is a revelation,” he says. The voice acting “is great, giving this the usual Ratchet & Clank big budget feel and the gags are good.” plus, there is a girl in it. This is the game of a generation.
