Rise of the Ronin is one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2024.

Will Rise of the Ronin be on PS4?

No, Rise of the Ronin will not be released on PS4. The developers have confirmed that Rise of the Ronin is a PS5 exclusive, which means you’ll need to have a PS5 to play it. Team Ninja has stated that the game has been built for PlayStation 5, with the game harnessing the console’s added power to deliver its most ambitious project yet.

With the game being open-world and featuring much higher visual fidelity than Nioh, it makes sense that the devs would choose to skip a PS4 release. This is especially true given how players will greatly benefit from the added frame rate (fps), which will make for a smoother gameplay experience when fighting the game’s bosses and regular enemies.

Quite whether Rise of the Ronin will ever make its way to Xbox Series X|S or PC remains to be seen, but for now, the action RPG remains a PS5 exclusive.
