PS5 exclusive no more.

Former PS5 exclusive Rise of the Ronin will head to Windows PC via Steam on 11 March 2025, Koei Tecmo has today announced.

“The epic Bakumatsu era tale takes players on a historic journey where a masterless warrior, a ronin, must fight to forge their own destiny through the chaos of war and political unrest,” Koei Tecmo said in a press release. “The upcoming Steam version will support various PC features, including ultra-wide monitor combability, 8K resolution, 120 fps, 3D audio, and more.”

The full list of PC additions includes:

• 8K resolution support
• DirectX 12 Ultimate support
• Ultra-wide and super ultra-wide monitor compatibility
• 120fps support
• Ray tracing support
• 3D audio support
• Customisable keyboard and mouse controls
• AMD Fidelity FX Super Resolution support
• NVIDIA DLSS and Reflex support
• UI menu with mouse click ability
• Intel XeSS graphics technology support

“Rise of the Ronin takes place in 1863 Japan where, after three centuries of the Tokugawa Shogunate’s reign, the Black Ships of the West descend upon the nation’s borders and the country falls into a state of turmoil,” Koei Tecmo said. “With Japan’s fate now in the hands of a ronin, players will encounter various historical figures. The countless choices they make, such as whether to assassinate or to protect key political figures like anti-Sogunate leader Ryoma Sakamoto, will not only shape their destiny, but also the multiple endings found in the game.”

We didn’t review the title on PS5 because Sony didn’t make it available to us. At the time of writing, Rise of the Ronin has a 76 on Metacritic, and is in the 67th percentile in games on OpenCritic.

Rise of the Ronin is already available on PS5 and heads to Windows PC via Steam on 11 March.
