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

After a year of anticipation, Team NINJA's ambitious action RPG, Rise of the Ronin, has finally made its way to PC. Despite receiving performance patches post-launch on PlayStation, there has been no news on any additional DLC or content updates.

So, what can players expect from the PC version if they've already experienced the game on PS5?

Unoptimized and Problematic PC Port With No New Content

Sadly, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin does not introduce any new content beyond what was available in the original release. However, it does allow players to adjust graphics settings to their preference, offering some flexibility in visual quality.

Reports also indicate that the game's optimization remains subpar, mirroring issues from its PlayStation debut. This means players may need to spend time tweaking various settings to achieve a smooth gaming experience.

Is Rise of the Ronin PC Worth It?

Wait for a Sale, But Don’t Cross Your Fingers For New Content

Game8 rated the original PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin an impressive 80/100, praising its breathtaking visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. However, since the PC version does not offer any new content, we suggest waiting for a sale before purchasing if you're keen on playing a "samurai with guns" themed game.

Given that Team NINJA and Koei Tecmo have not announced any plans for new DLC, it's reasonable to assume that no additional content will be forthcoming for Rise of the Ronin.
