‘Runs like trash’ PlayStation fans are slamming the latest exclusive for poor performance

PLAYSTATION fans are already excited about the latest PS5 exclusive just hours after launch.

Rise of the Ronin just released on PS5 and gamers are already dragging it to Twitter.

Rise of the Ronin launched on March 22, 2024, and some players aren’t happy

Team Ninja’s samurai action game angers players with disappointing visuals and poor performance.

“Rise of Ronin is running like crap,” one Twitter user wrote.

“Did they really ship Rise of the Ronin like that?” asks another.

Update!

Rise of Ronin works like garbage, it’s NOT like Nioh in combat, it’s a generic open world and there’s super armor on higher level AI

People have even posted technical breakdowns comparing the three different modes: performance, quality, and ray tracing.

Performance mode usually trades visual quality for a higher frame rate, so the game runs smoothly at 60 frames per second on the latest generation of consoles.

According to one poster, Rise of the Ronin’s Performance mode drops to 40 frames per second, while the ray tracing mode sometimes even drops to 20 frames per second.

The same Twitter user was surprised that Rise of Ronin was released in its current state.

The game’s performance issues and dated graphics feel all the stranger considering it’s a current-gen exclusive, meaning it won’t be released for Sony’s last-gen console, PS4.

Other users compared the latest PS5 game to much older releases in an attempt to prove that decade-old games look better than Rise of Ronin.

It’s bad news for those expecting a samurai-focused game on par with 2020’s excellent Ghost of Tsushima.

While RPG fans have a same-day saving grace, and conveniently for them, it could be the game of the year.
