Rise of the Ronin PC Port: Identical to the PS5 Version

Team NINJA's latest action RPG, Rise of the Ronin, has finally made its way to PC after a year on PlayStation 5. Despite regular performance updates post-launch, there's been no word on any new DLC or additional content.

So, what does the PC version offer to players who've already experienced the game on PS5?

Unoptimized PC Port Lacking New Content

Unfortunately, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin does not introduce any new content beyond what was available in the original PS5 release. However, it does allow players to adjust graphics settings to their preference.

On the downside, the PC port has been reported to be unoptimized, much like the initial PS5 version. Players may need to spend time tweaking various settings to achieve a smooth gameplay experience.

Is Rise of the Ronin on PC Worth It?

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

Game8 rated the original PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin at 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. Given that the PC version mirrors the PS5 release without any new additions, we suggest waiting for a sale if you're eager to experience this unique "samurai with guns" gameplay.

Moreover, it seems unlikely that Rise of the Ronin will receive new content, as neither Team NINJA nor Koei Tecmo have announced any plans for DLC since the game's initial release.
