After more than a year of waiting, KOEI TECMO has finally announced the PC release ofRise of the Roninslated for 2025. Just like the Nioh series, Rise of the Ronin launched as a PlayStation exclusive due to joint funding from Sony Interactive Entertainment. Thankfully, PC players won’t have to wait much longer anymore as the Rise of the Ronin is already available for pre-purchase on Steam and have our first look at its requirements, early purchase bonuses, and PC features.
Rise of the Ronin PC System Requirements
Compared to Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, the last major PC release from Team Ninja, Rise of the Ronin is a bit more demanding. If you’re aiming for a 60 FPS experience at 1080p with upscaling and the “Standard” preset, which likely refers to “High”, you’ll need something like an RTX 2080 Super paired with a Ryzen 5 5600X. I’m not the biggest fan of this new trend of system requirements with non-native resolutions as it’s hard to get an idea of the internal resolution and upscaling preset.
Possibly the most shocking thing in the specifications sheet is the massive file size. Rise of the Ronin requires 180 GB of free SSD space on PC compared to around 96 GB on the PS5. We hope that the title is in much better shape compared to Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, which is still not great on PC.
