The red berets were out in full force for @bdud5.bsky.social and Z3R01337's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 race, plus the bonus Parry Only Simon fight that your donations helped make happen! #AGDQ2026

A surprise donation during the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 race from some folks who know the game ... well, they know it just as well as @bdud5.bsky.social and Z3R01337 do.

One week from today, I’ll be on stage to speedrun the Game of the Year at AGDQ! It’ll be a tight Any% race amongst the top 2 runners in the Expert Glitchless category (and we’ll have some cosplays to show off as well). I’m so excited!!! #Expedition33 @gamesdonequick.com

I don’t know how but I’ve done it again. Got a low 1:47 in Any%. I didn’t think I was capable of this at this moment without needing perfect RNG, but here I am

I’m ready for AGDQ!

Reached my original PB goal in Expedition 33 for AGDQ! Now I wonder if I can hit a 1:47 before I leave

750 hours + about 500 hours on PC for Expedition 33 this year

For the First Time Ever I have Swept the PS5 & PC Leaderboards for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. 10/10 categories with WRs!!

Not only that but each category now has an updated WR this past month. Quite the big step considering some of these records stood for 3 or 4 years

EXPEDITION 33 is going to AGDQ! And I get to run it alongside Zero in a race!!

We’ve both been cooking in this game for the last 6 months. This is gonna be a tight race. Thanks so much @gamesdonequick.com for letting us showcase this together

‪I’m gonna try and attempt the sub 1:10 in NG+ while I’m playing this well, but I’m keeping my expectations very low‬

I did a celebratory Any% run afterwards (since the category has also not been improved in 2+ years) and on the first attempt I improved WR by over 2 minutes. I don’t know what’s happening but I’m playing on a level nobody’s ever managed before

This is the greatest speedrunning achievement I’ve ever made and I’m not exaggerating

I had WR in this category for almost 3 years at 1:12:45 and in 1 week I’ve managed to pull off a nearly perfect run (unheard of with this tech) and take it all the way down to 1:10:01!!

Did a Rift-Fecta (all categories back-to-back) today in 11:32:54!

All WRs across these categories add up to 11 hours 20 minutes and I played within 15 min of that after 12 hours. I also ended up getting 100% record, giving me the Rift Apart PS5 Sweep after almost 4 years!!

WE GOT PARTNER!!

I can hardly believe it still. It feels so surreal. As a shy and socially anxious person, I never thought I’d be capable of achieving this one day.

I couldn’t have done this without everyone’s help. Thank You Everyone for believing and supporting in me ❤️🥹

Results after a weekend grind in Expedition 33 Platinum Trophy Speedruns:

Expert Glitchless Plat% in 4:41:55!

I can think of about 5-6 minutes of timesave still but I'm very happy with this for a 5 hour run. Worthy for a leaderboard submission for sure

Got the World Record AND Sub 2!!

Expedition 33 Any% Expert Glitchless in 1:58:51! Wooo!

Got really great RNG and was practically flawless. Only small RNG and very small timelosses that all add up to maybe 1:30 of time (actual SoB should be around 1:57:30). Crazy to be that close

I GOT THE SUB 6!!

Expedition 33 All Bosses on Expert Glitchless completed in 5:58:20! Only 3 notable mistakes that cost me a few minutes each, but really solid run. I doubt I'll be able to clear another half-hour barrier in this category.

Happy with this, so will be back to Any% again soon

I just beat the hardest boss in Expedition 33 from a fresh file in 2 hours and 15 minutes!!!

Simon% Speedrun on Expert Difficulty Glitchless in 2:15:03! No Fights failed and very solid Act 3 execution!

Very happy with this

Got a sub 6:30 in Expedition 33 All Bosses (Expert Difficulty, Glitchless) after 5 long completed attempts!

Was saving up to 10 minutes to PB pace at one point, but still plenty of mistakes and faster menuing I can do

Maybe we start working towards sub 6👀

Peter...Peter slow down...it's heckin WIMDY *sounds of glass shattering* #SGDQ2025

Our Spider-Man 2 SGDQ run starts in less than 2 hours!! Incentives for Ultimate Difficulty and Suit Choice are up!
#SGDQ2025

I got WR for the first time in the Spider-Man 2 All Collectibles (Ultimate) Speedrun!

Just in time too since my SGDQ run is in 3 days 😳
#SGDQ2025

Wow I'm speechless!

Sub 2:30 Simon% Speedrun (Expert Glitchless) in Expedition 33

Not 100% perfect but pretty close. Almost all the best RNG I could get and executed my Act 3 route the best I ever have. Didn't think I'd get here without another 2-3 week grind. What a great run!

We also reached 2000 Followers on Twitch during this run! Very much appreciate everyone supporting the streams and runs ❤️

I just beat the Hardest Boss in Expedition 33 in less than 3 Hours!

I've learned/mastered a lot about Expedition 33 to get the run to this point and although it's far from optimized, it's a big milestone to show how far I've come with this game

Hi!

Here's a never-before-discovered easter egg in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart! 🛠️

For the four-year anniversary, senior designer Grant Parker uncovered how to access a ✨secret✨ prototype mini game during Insomniac Live - our weekly live show on Twitch!

#RatchetPS5

Forgot to share some achievements I made over the past weekend. New Expert WR and completed my first run in the infamous Simon%

Expedition 33 Any% Expert Restricted in 2:08:09! New Console WR!

Been grinding out Expert Difficulty Glitchless Speedruns in this game for the last few weeks. Finally got a run that didn't fail a single fight! Of course there is optimal RNG and small timesaves I missed out on but very proud of this

YouTube video by IGN Astro Bot Developers React to an Incredible Speedrun

Had the honor to provide my Astro Bot run to IGN for a devs react!

Always hoped I’d get the chance to do one of these ever since I started speedrunning youtu.be/K49HKVWfk7w?...
