Rise of the Ronin system requirements recommend the use of upscalers on PC

With only a few days left until Rise of the Ronin's official PC launch, Koei Tecmo has revealed the necessary system requirements for running the new version of the game. One detail that stands out is that the company itself recommends using upscalers and frame generation to achieve performance beyond 30 FPS.

According to the company, those looking to play the game on the lowest settings will need an Intel Core i5-10400 | AMD Ryzen 5 1600 CPU, 16 GB of RAM, at least a GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB VRAM) or an AMD Radeon RX 550 XT (8 GB VRAM), and an impressive 180 GB of available space on an SSD. This should allow Rise of the Ronin to run at 30 frames per second at 1080p resolution—as long as upscalers are used. At launch, the game will support technologies such as AMD FSR, NVIDIA DLSS, and Intel XeSS, which will be essential for those seeking enhanced performance.

The technical requirements for Rise of the Ronin on PC suggest that the game might launch with some of Koei Tecmo's previous issues. With titles like Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, the company has built a bad reputation for optimizing its games for PC.

Given that Rise of the Ronin received PS5 Pro upgrades, it can potentially cause some headaches for those investing in the PC adaptation. Either way, the game is set to launch on Steam on March 10.
