Setting and environment
Rise of the Ronin places its action in a historical setting, and the player works through one continuous open world. That openness is what costs performance. Rise of the Ronin has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. There are 12 official screenshots to judge the look from. Play is presented from a third person view.
Why Rise of the Ronin is demanding
Rise of the Ronin is a heavy title. Its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super (VRAM target scores above the RTX 3060 we measure against, so anything meaningfully slower is making compromises rather than running Rise of the Ronin properly. Rise of the Ronin asks for 8 GB of video memory, so VRAM capacity matters here as much as speed. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Rise of the Ronin at the floor and Rise of the Ronin at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Rise of the Ronin calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Installation is large at roughly 155 GB, and an SSD is specified rather than suggested.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Rise of the Ronin?
Free up space before installing Rise of the Ronin: it needs roughly 155 GB of SSD storage. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (VRAM 6GB) or better, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT (VRAM 8GB) or better and 16 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Rise of the Ronin needs about 155 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.86x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.48x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.21x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
