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

Team NINJA's latest action RPG, Rise of the Ronin, has finally made its way to PC a full year after its initial release. While the game has received performance patches in the months following its launch, there's been no mention of additional DLC or new content.

So, what can PC players expect from this port? Does it bring anything new to the table for those who've already experienced the game on PS5?

Unoptimized and Problematic PC Port With No New Content

Disappointingly, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin does not include any new content beyond what was available in the original PS5 release. The only notable advantage for PC players is the ability to customize the game's graphics settings to suit individual preferences.

However, reports indicate that the game's PC port remains unoptimized, echoing the issues seen at its PS5 launch. Players may need to spend time adjusting multiple settings before they can enjoy 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 of Rise of the Ronin a score of 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, intricate combat system, and impressive character creator. Since the PC port offers no additional content, we suggest waiting for a sale if you're keen on experiencing this "samurai with guns" adventure.

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