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

Team NINJA's latest ambitious action RPG soulslike, Rise of the Ronin, has now made its way to PC after a full year since its initial release. Despite performance patches in the months following its launch, there has been no word on additional DLC or new content.

So, what does the PC version bring to the table for those who have already experienced the game on PS5?

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 PS5 release. However, players can enjoy the flexibility of adjusting graphics settings to suit their preferences.

On the downside, the game's PC port has been reported to be unoptimized, echoing the issues faced during its initial PlayStation launch. Players might 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 stunning visuals, detailed combat system, and excellent character creator. However, with the PC version offering no new content and facing similar optimization challenges, we recommend waiting for a sale if you're interested in this unique "samurai with guns" experience.

Moreover, given the lack of announcements from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo regarding any new DLC, it seems unlikely that Rise of the Ronin will receive additional content in the future.
