Rise Of The Ronin Team ‘Sincerely’ Apologizes For Poor PC Port After Player Backlash

Expert Verified By

The Studio Is Working On A Patch To Fix Issues!

Story Highlight
  • The Rise of the Ronin team has apologized to fans on Twitter for releasing a lousy PC port.
  • Team Ninja is working to remedy the situation by preparing a patch to fix or improve some of these issues.
  • The game was received much better on PlayStation 5, even outselling the Nioh series.

Rise of the Ronin’s launch last year was met with varying opinions, but many found its gameplay and open world to be a fun experience. It even outsold the Nioh series and surpassed Team Ninja’s expectations. However, the same can’t be said about its PC port. 

Early reviews of Rise of the Ronin’s PC port implied it was headed towards yet another disastrous launch. This was further confirmed after the full launch when it became the latest PlayStation exclusive to fail on PC. Team Ninja has now officially apologized to fans.

Why it matters: Rise of the Ronin’s disappointing PC port aligns with the recent trend of studios poorly optimizing PC versions of their games.

The Rise of the Ronin studio is working on a patch to resolve the bugs and bad performance in PC port.
Team Ninja is working on a patch to resolve the bugs and bad performance in the PC port.

The studio has taken to Twitter and issued a statement acknowledging the plethora of reported issues for Rise of the Ronin’s Steam version. Team Ninja is trying to remedy the mounting player backlash by preparing a patch that will launch on April 10, 2025.

The patch aims to ‘fix or improve some of these issues’ to make the PC port a more playable experience. Right now, the game suffers from terrible frame rates, performance issues on high-end GPUs, and a handful of other bugs and gameplay glitches.

So, it’s unsurprising to see Rise of the Ronin sitting at mixed reviews on Steam. However, positive reviews say that some of these performance woes have already been fixed, so Team Ninja might already be on its way to securing a bug-free PC port.

Rise of the Ronin is set in feudal Japan and explores the war-torn 19th century in an open-world RPG setting. It builds on the foundations of Nioh’s combat, offering the distinct Team Ninja experience that fans have come to love.
