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

After a year of anticipation, Team NINJA has finally brought their ambitious action RPG, Rise of the Ronin, to PC. Despite regular performance patches following its initial release, there has been no word on additional DLC or content updates.

So, does the PC version offer anything new for fans who have already experienced the game on its debut last year?

Unoptimized and Problematic PC Port With No New Content

Unfortunately, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin doesn't include any new content beyond what was available in the original release. On the upside, PC players can adjust the game's graphics settings to their preference.

However, the port has been criticized for its lack of optimization, a recurring issue from its PlayStation debut. 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 Cross Your Fingers For New Content

At Game8, we rated the original PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin an impressive 80/100, praising its breathtaking visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. Given that the PC version mirrors the original release without additions, we recommend holding off for a sale if you're eager to dive into this "samurai with guns" experience.

Moreover, it seems unlikely that Rise of the Ronin will receive new content, as neither Team NINJA nor Koei Tecmo have hinted at future DLC plans.
