Rift Apart features both entirely new planets, as well as alternate dimensions of planets from previous games. This also allows Ratchet to rapidly travel forwards in space by using pre-existing yellow rifts, which enlarge when the reticle is focused on them. He does this with a new glove gadget called the Rift Tether. Though most of Ratchet's moveset is identical to that of the previous Ratchet & Clank (2016 game), he has a new move in which he can dash while strafing, allowing him to rapidly move to the side or backwards. Scripted segments also involve Ratchet rushing through new planets. It retains elements of previous Ratchet & Clank games, involving gunplay, collection of bolts, upgradable weapons, and gadgets. The gameplay of Rift Apart allows the player to play both as Ratchet and Rivet.
