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

After a full year since its initial release, Team NINJA's latest ambitious action RPG soulslike, Rise of the Ronin, has finally made its way to PC. Despite receiving performance patches in the months following its 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?

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 preference.

Despite these settings, the game's optimization remains a concern, mirroring the issues faced during its PlayStation launch. Players may need to adjust multiple settings before achieving a smooth gameplay 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 rated the original PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin an 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, detailed combat system, and excellent character creator. Since the PC port does not differ from the original release, we suggest waiting for a sale if you're keen on experiencing this "samurai with guns" game.

Given that Team NINJA and Koei Tecmo have not announced any new DLC or content updates since the game's release, it's reasonable to assume that no new content will be added in the future.
