After much anticipation, Rise of the Ronin has officially launched on Steam, bringing Team Ninja’s open-world samurai RPG to PC players for the first time. Previously released as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, the game is now available with enhanced visuals, performance optimizations, and full keyboard and mouse support.
A Journey Through 19th-Century Japan
Rise of the Ronin is set in late 19th-century Japan during the Bakumatsu period, a time of great political and social upheaval. Players take on the role of a ronin (a masterless samurai) caught in the conflict between the Tokugawa Shogunate, pro-imperial factions, and Western forces. The game’s choice-driven narrative allows players to decide who to side with, who to fight, and how to shape Japan’s future.
What’s New in the PC Version?
The Steam release of Rise of the Ronin brings several enhancements to take advantage of high-end gaming rigs:
🎮 Up to 120 FPS Support – Experience smoother combat and animations.
🎮 4K & Ultrawide Support – Play in stunning high resolution with ultrawide monitor compatibility.
🎮 Ray Tracing & Improved Shadows – Enhanced lighting effects for more immersive visuals.
🎮 DLSS, FSR, and XeSS Support – Boost performance with NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel’s upscaling technologies.
