Rise of the Ronin PC Release Criticized for Severe Optimization Issues

The PlayStation-exclusive title's PC port faces backlash for performance problems, including stuttering and poor graphics, despite its strong PS5 reception.

Rise of the Ronin launched on PC via Steam on March 10, 2025, a year after its PlayStation 5 debut, but currently holds a 'Mixed' review rating with only 44% positive reviews.
Players report severe performance issues, including stuttering, low framerates, and poor optimization, even on high-end hardware like Nvidia's RTX 4090 GPU.
Critics and users alike note that the game's graphics are subpar for a modern AAA title, with many comparing its visuals to those of the PS4 era.
The PC port continues a trend of poorly optimized PlayStation-exclusive titles, following similar problems with Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Developers have yet to address the widespread complaints, leaving many players waiting for post-launch patches to improve the game's performance.
