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

Team NINJA's latest ambitious action RPG, which draws inspiration from soulslike games, has finally made its way to PC after a year-long wait. Despite several performance patches released shortly after its initial launch, there has been no indication of any forthcoming DLC or additional content.

So, what can players expect from the PC version if they've already experienced the game's 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. On the positive side, players can adjust the game's graphics settings to suit their preferences.

However, reports indicate that the PC port remains unoptimized, similar to its initial PlayStation release. This means that players may 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 Expect New Content

At Game8, we gave the original PlayStation 5 version an impressive score of 80/100, praising its breathtaking visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. Since the PC version mirrors the original release without additional content, we suggest waiting for a sale if you're eager to explore this "samurai with guns" experience.

Moreover, given that neither Team NINJA nor Koei Tecmo have announced plans for new DLC since the game's release, it's reasonable to assume that no new content will be added to Rise of the Ronin.
