Sony has released a free demo for the exclusive game Rise of the Ronin on PlayStation 5. This demo covers the first chapter of the game and allows players to port their save data over to the full game. The demo also includes four free avatars for PSN IDs. Some statistics on player choices from launch through June 20 were shared, including the fact that around 65% of players spared Gonzo instead of killing him, and 38% sided with the anti-shogunate. Rise of the Ronin, developed by Team Ninja, offers an action-packed open-world RPG experience with opportunities to make game-changing choices, form relationships with NPCs, and engage in optional three-player co-op.

Additionally, using a wireless headset instead of a wired one can also prevent unnecessary power drain from the controller.
