PS5 Pro Will Supposedly Fix Rise of the Ronin's Shoddy Frame Rate | Push Square
Many will argue that Rise of the Ronin deserves a little more recognition. The open world action title released for PS5 what feels like an age ago, all the way back in March of this year. And while it was met with rather lukewarm reviews, it still managed to amass a faithful fan following.
It's a shame, then, that the game still suffers from very uneven performance on Sony's system. The title's dedicated performance mode targets 60 frames-per-second, but it rarely manages to maintain that smoothness. A real disappointment, since the game's so heavy on fast-flowing action.

It's a similar story with the likes of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Dragon's Dogma 2 — both of which are promising performance enhancements on the Pro, having previously suffered from various technical issues on the standard console.

A little too much, some might say.
For £700 I should bloody well hope so
Inexcusable that it can't be fixed on the base PS5. Seems like a talent issue at the studio.
Not something that I
