Rise of the Ronin PC Port: No Changes from PS5 Version

Team NINJA's latest action RPG soulslike, Rise of the Ronin, has arrived on PC a year after its initial release. Despite performance patches in the months following its launch, there has been no word on any DLC or additional content.

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

Unoptimized PC Port Lacking New Content

Disappointingly, 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 allow players to adjust graphics settings to their preference.

Reports also indicate that the PC port remains unoptimized, mirroring issues seen in the PlayStation version. Players may need to spend time tweaking settings before enjoying 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 rated the PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin an 80/100, praising its breathtaking visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. However, since the PC version offers nothing new, we suggest waiting for a sale if you're interested in playing this unique "samurai with guns" experience.

It's also worth noting that there have been no announcements from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo about any forthcoming DLC, suggesting that new content for Rise of the Ronin may not be on the horizon.
