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

Team NINJA's latest ambitious action RPG, a soulslike experience, has finally made its way to PC after a year on the market. Despite performance patches in the months following its initial release, there has been no news of additional DLC or new content.

So, for those who've already experienced the game on its launch last year, does the PC version bring anything new to the table?

Unoptimized and Problematic PC Port With No New Content

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

However, reports indicate that the game remains unoptimized, similar to its initial PlayStation launch. This means players may need to spend time tweaking various settings before enjoying smooth gameplay.

Is Rise of the Ronin PC Worth It?

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

Game8 rated the original PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin an impressive 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. Yet, since the PC port offers nothing new compared to the initial release, we recommend waiting for a sale if you're eager to dive into this "samurai with guns" experience.

Moreover, it's reasonable to expect no new content for Rise of the Ronin, as neither Team NINJA nor Koei Tecmo have announced any plans for additional DLC since the game's launch.
