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

Team NINJA's latest action RPG, a soulslike experience, has made its way to PC after a year of exclusivity on PlayStation 5. Despite some performance updates in the months following its initial launch, there has been no mention of additional DLC or new content.

So, what does the PC version offer for those who have already experienced the game on its first release?

Unoptimized and Problematic PC Port With No New Content

Sadly, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin doesn't include any new content beyond what was available in the original PlayStation 5 release. On the upside, players can now tweak the graphics settings to suit their preferences.

However, the port has been criticized for its lack of optimization, similar to issues faced at its PlayStation debut. Potential players might need to spend time adjusting various settings before they can enjoy a smooth gaming experience.

Is Rise of the Ronin PC Worth It?

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

Game8 awarded the PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin an impressive 80/100, praising its breathtaking visuals, intricate combat, and robust character creation. However, since the PC port mirrors the original release without additional content, we suggest waiting for a discount if you're eager to explore a "samurai with guns" gameplay experience.

Moreover, with no announcements from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo about future DLC, it's reasonable to expect that no new content will be added to Rise of the Ronin.
