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

Team NINJA's highly anticipated action RPG soulslike, Rise of the Ronin, has now made its way to PC after a year since its initial release. Despite receiving performance patches in the months following its launch, there have been no announcements regarding any DLC or additional content.

So, does the PC version bring anything new to the table for those who've already experienced the game on PlayStation?

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 offer the advantage of customizable graphics settings, allowing players to tailor the visual experience to their preferences.

Despite these adjustments, the game's performance remains subpar, echoing the optimization issues seen in its PlayStation debut. Players may need to spend time tweaking settings to achieve a smooth gameplay experience.

Is Rise of the Ronin PC Worth It?

Wait for a Sale, But Don’t Expect 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 robust character creator. Since the PC port mirrors the original release without any new content, we recommend waiting for a sale if you're eager to dive into this unique "samurai with guns" experience.

Given the lack of announcements from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo about future DLC, it's reasonable to assume that no new content will be added to Rise of the Ronin.
