RATSHAKER™ News

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Sunscorched Studios and Dark Product are proud to announce that RATSHAKER™, the unhinged pest-control simulator that took the PC world by storm, will make its console debut on PlayStation 5, starting May 28, 2025. That’s right. The RAT is going to console, and it’s happening May 28.

Rebuilt from the nest up for consoles, RATSHAKER™ on PS5 uses the DualSense™ wireless controller’s gyroscope to deliver a hilariously immersive experience. For the first time ever, players can physically shake their controller to shake the rat - an absurd, satisfying mechanic brought to life with detailed motion input and hyper-reactive feedback.

PS5 FEATURES INCLUDE:

• Gyro-Powered Pest Control – Shake your DualSense™ to physically control your in-game rat.
  
• Hyper-Realistic RAT Physics™ – Every flail, flop, and squeal has been finely tuned for tactile feedback.
  
• Effortless Pest Removal – Just grab, shake, and watch as your “problems” disappear.
  Your rat responds to every shake... sometimes unexpectedly.
  
• No Traps. No Mess. (Some Guilt.) – A clean conscience not included.
  

This is your chance to shake, rattle, and roll in the most ridiculous way possible - only on PlayStation. Wishlist now via the PlayStation Store or pay to shake on launch for $3.49 USD | €3.49 EUR.

IS THIS THE END FOR PC PLAYERS?
Absolutely not. YOU are the original shakers. The faithful. The tremble-handed pioneers. This announcement exists here because we love you. You made RATSHAKER™ possible.

THE GLORY OF THE RAT SPREADS EVERMORE.

No real rats were harmed in the making of RATSHAKER™ or the porting process.
Several controllers were.

Hey RATSHAKERs,

Some of you, blessed with the clarity of 4K monitors or beyond, may have noticed the BIG RED INSTRUCTIONAL TEXT was... not so big. Or not readable. Or, in some cases, not there at all.

This was not intentional. These commands must be seen.

BIG RED TEXT FIXED AT HIGH RESOLUTIONS: At last, we have wrestled this bug into submission. The RED TEXT should now display correctly.



We’re sorry it took us this long to track down the issue. Sometimes the duct is deep, the error buried. However, we would like to assure you we had our best RATgineers on the job & even they struggled!

Make sure to restart Steam to apply this update.

Thank you for playing RATSHAKER!
Keep shaking that RAT! 🐀

No real rats were harmed in the development of RATSHAKER. The RED TEXT was. Briefly.

Hey RATSHAKERs,

The RATgineers have gnawed through new cables, licked the circuits clean, and emerged with more offerings.

This time, the work was multilingual. The RAT now speaks in new tongues:

• New Localisations Added: RATSHAKER™, the Supporter Pack DLC, and our Store Page are now fully localised in: Korean, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese.
  
• TV Fixes: Some TVs had gone dark. Their videos lost to the void after the last patch.
  We have restored their signal. The intended horrors now broadcast as designed.
  

Make sure to restart Steam to apply this update.

Thank you for playing RATSHAKER!
