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

Team NINJA's latest ambitious action RPG, which blends soulslike elements, has finally made its way to PC after a year. Despite performance patches released in the months following its initial launch, there has been no news of any DLC or additional content.

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

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.

Reports also indicate that the game's optimization remains subpar, similar to its initial PlayStation release. This means players may need to spend time tweaking various settings before they can fully enjoy the game.

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 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. Since the PC version mirrors the original release without any enhancements, we suggest waiting for a sale if you're eager to experience a "samurai with guns" game.

Moreover, it seems unlikely that Rise of the Ronin will receive any new content, as neither Team NINJA nor Koei Tecmo have announced plans for any DLC since the game's launch.
