Rise of the Ronin PC Port Might Have Some Problems
Rise of the Ronin PC might have some serious issues present that need to be resolved by Team Ninja.
Rise of the Ronin PC Problems
In March 2024, Rise of the Ronin launched to mostly positive reviews. While it fell short of widespread critical acclaim, it still came in for plenty of praise for its historical narrative and strong RPG elements. Its PC port was confirmed in January 2025, and plenty of gamers were excited to finally have the chance to play Rise of the Ronin on the platform. With just a few days to go until its release, it seems there are a few major issues with the experience.
As first reported by PushSquare, the upcoming Rise of the Ronin PC release has some major problems, particularly related to its performance. Optimization seems to be a massive issue, and Rise of the Ronin “demands a disproportionately powerful rig to deliver an acceptable experience,” according to some early previews. This comes somewhat as a surprise, given the PlayStation 5 version was frequently criticized for what some felt were already outdated graphics saved by solid art direction. It’s always possible that the previews have been played on a version that is missing a patch that will be available at launch, but it’s not a great first impression.
Team Ninja is undertaking a particularly busy 2025. Ninja Gaiden 2 Black has already been released by the developer this year, with the Rise of the Ronin PC port now just around the corner. There was also the surprise announcement of Ninja Gaiden 4, which is currently planned for launch later in 2025.
