Problems players report

We read the 300 most recent negative Steam reviews of Rise of the Tomb Raider on 30 August 2026 and counted what they mention. These are complaints, not confirmed defects: we have not reproduced any of them, and a review describes one person's machine. What the counts tell you is which problems more than one person ran into.

  1. Performance and stutter13 of 300 (4%)

    Performance on the deck is quite poor, requiring the lowest graphics preset to get an UNstable ~30 fps in open areas.

    Steam review, 16 February 2026 · 3 hours played · 1 readers marked it helpful

    performance is very choppy and my rig should absolutly be able to run this at 100+ frames (which it did), but major stuttering, constant fps drops, and frequent glitches make the experience annoying (and this was on any graphic setting).

    Steam review, 18 January 2026 · 16 hours played · 1 readers marked it helpful

A further 13 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
