Rise of the Ronin PC Port is No Different From PS5 Version

Team NINJA's latest ambitious action RPG, which blends elements of soulslike gameplay, has now been released on PC after a full year on the market. Despite several performance patches in the months following its initial release, there has been no news regarding any new DLC or additional content.

So, what does the PC version offer for those who have already experienced the game's original release?

Unoptimized and Problematic PC Port With No New Content

Disappointingly, Rise of the Ronin on PC does not include any new content beyond what was available in the original version. On the positive side, players can now adjust the game’s graphics settings to suit their preferences.

However, reports indicate that the PC port remains unoptimized, similar to its initial PlayStation release. Players may need to spend time tweaking various settings before enjoying a smooth gaming experience.

Is Rise of the Ronin PC Worth It?

At Game8, we gave the original PlayStation 5 version an 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, detailed combat system, and impressive character creator. Since the PC version offers no new content, we recommend waiting for a sale if you're eager to experience a "samurai with guns" game.

It's also worth noting that there have been no announcements from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo about any upcoming DLC, suggesting that new content may not be on the horizon for Rise of the Ronin.
