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 finally made its way to PC after a year since its initial release. Despite receiving performance patches in the months following its launch, there has been no news regarding additional DLC or new content.

So, what does the PC version offer to those who have already experienced the game on its initial release?

Unoptimized and Problematic PC Port With No New Content

Unfortunately, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin does not include any new content beyond what was available in the original release. However, it does allow players to adjust the graphics settings to their preference.

Moreover, reports indicate that the game's optimization remains subpar, similar to its initial PlayStation release. 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

At Game8, we gave the original PlayStation 5 version an impressive score of 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. However, since the PC version does not differ from the original release, we suggest waiting for a sale if you're eager to experience a "samurai with guns" game.

It's also worth noting that there seems to be no new content on the horizon for Rise of the Ronin, as neither Team NINJA nor Koei Tecmo have announced any plans for additional DLC since the game's launch.
