Why Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart can trigger motion sickness
Combat is busy and traversal asks for quick inputs. Sony says Game Speed was added after reviews where players felt overwhelmed in combat. Insomniac describes Motion Blur as the blurring created by camera motion and fast-moving objects, and Can I Play That reports it can be turned off. Screen Shake turns camera shake on or off. Camera controls have sensitivity options. Game Speed can slow the game to 70, 50 or 30 percent from a Shortcut button, which buys time in busy fights and tricky traversal.
- Blur from camera motion and fast-moving objects
- Camera shake during gameplay
- Fast traversal and crowded fights that are hard to track

Comfort settings in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart ships some comfort settings, but not a full set.

| Screen Shake | In-game settings | Turn it off. |
| Camera sensitivity | In-game settings | Lower it so the camera turns more slowly. |
| Game Speed | In-game settings | Assign 70 or 50 percent to a Shortcut button and press it when a fight or traversal section feels like too much. Press it again to return to full speed. |
| Auto Aim | In-game settings | Be aware that it turns the camera toward the nearest enemy when you fire. If sudden camera turns bother you, try it off. |
