We've heard suggestions from lots of players over the last few days, and we're happy to say we're rolling out refinements to Rita's Rewind to adjust various parts of the game based on that feedback.

GENERAL FAQ

What is Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind?

Rita's Rewind is an all-new game created in the style of classic 1990s arcade action games. It tells an original "What If?" alternate-timeline story featuring characters and settings from the original 1993 television show.

For which platforms is Rita's Rewind available?

You can play Rita's Rewind on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam). We have no current plans to release it on any other platforms or digital stores.

When will Rita's Rewind available to purchase and play?

Right now! The game has now been released on all platforms.

Is there a physical edition?

Rita's Rewind is currently available through digital stores only. Our hope and goal is to release a physical edition in 2025, but we have not yet announced a physical edition.


Can I play as the Green Ranger?

The Green Ranger will become available to select in both single and multiplayer modes as soon as you complete the main Story Mode campaign in any difficulty.

How many players can play together locally?

Between four and six, depending on the platform. Check the list below to see how many controllers your platform will support.

Nintendo Switch: Six players when using Pro Controllers or a mix of Joy-cons and Pro Controllers
Xbox One: Six players
Xbox Series X|S: Six players
PlayStation 4: Four players
Playstation 5: Four players
Steam: Five players when using both keyboard and game controllers

Please note that when you first begin to play the game, you will only be able to play with five players maximum. Once you unlock the Green Ranger (see above), you will be able to play with six players if your platform supports it.

Can I play online at launch?

All platforms will eventually support online play. At launch, only PlayStation and Steam will support two-player online play. Within a few weeks of launch, we plan to add online play to the Xbox and Nintendo Switch versions.

What are your plans for expanding online play?

Our eventual goal, for all platforms, is to let players play online with six total players across two machines. In our testing, a two-console connection enables the best play experience for everyone while still providing the cooperative experience we designed the game to deliver. We do not have a firm ETA for this, but we are targeting this feature to arrive on all platforms via a free update a few weeks after launch.

Does the game support cross-platform play?

Rita's Rewind will not support cross-platform play. Cross-generation play – that is, two consoles from the same manufacturer – will be possible. For instance, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners can play online together, but Xbox and Switch owners cannot.

I unlocked the Green Ranger but I can't play with him online. Why not?
Both players need to have the Green Ranger unlocked on their machine for either player to use him in an online game.

Is there a way I can see the complete move list during gameplay?
Yes – pause the game and choose Move List from the on-screen menu. You'll see all the controls for all the gameplay modes that Rita's Rewind has to offer.


Are you planning DLC?
We're entirely focused on the main game, as well as some post launch support ideas that the team is considering(nothing to announce yet), so no current plans for DLC. But if the game does well, there is always the possibility.



We'll keep this page updated with new information as it becomes available. Thanks for your support; we hope you enjoy the game!
