Rise of the Ronin PC Port: No New Features Compared to PS5

Team NINJA's latest action RPG, which mirrors the soulslike genre, has finally reached PC players after a year since its initial release. Despite some performance updates in the months following its launch, there has been no mention of any new DLC or additional content.

For those who have already experienced the game on its original platform, the burning question remains: does the PC version offer anything new?

Unoptimized PC Port Lacking New Content

Sadly, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin does not include any new content beyond what was available on the PS5. However, it does offer the advantage of customizable graphics settings, allowing players to tailor their experience.

Yet, reports indicate that the game remains unoptimized, echoing issues from its PlayStation launch. This means potential PC players may need to spend time adjusting various settings to achieve a smooth gameplay experience.

Is the Rise of the Ronin PC Port Worth It?

Consider Waiting for a Sale, But Don’t Expect New Content

At Game8, we gave the PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin a score of 80/100, praising its breathtaking visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creation. However, since the PC port does not differ from the original, we suggest waiting for a sale if you're eager to experience a "samurai with guns" style game.

It's also worth noting that there's been no indication from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo about future DLC or new content for Rise of the Ronin, suggesting that what you see is what you get.
