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

Team NINJA's latest action RPG, Rise of the Ronin, has now been ported to PC after a year on the market. While the game has received performance patches since its initial release, there has been no word on any DLC or additional content.

So, what does the PC version bring to the table for those who have already experienced the game on PlayStation?

Unoptimized and Problematic PC Port With No New Content

Sadly, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin does not include any new content beyond what was available in the original PlayStation release. However, PC players do benefit from the ability to adjust graphics settings to their liking.

On the downside, the game remains unoptimized, requiring players to tweak numerous settings before achieving a smooth gameplay experience, similar to the issues faced during its PlayStation launch.

Is Rise of the Ronin PC Worth It?

Wait for a Sale, But Don’t Cross Your Fingers For New Content

Game8 gave the original PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin an impressive score of 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. Since the PC port offers no new content, we suggest waiting for a sale if you're interested in this unique "samurai with guns" experience.

Furthermore, given the lack of announcements from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo regarding any future DLC, it's reasonable to expect that no new content will be added to Rise of the Ronin.
