Nioh 3 has arrived on both PlayStation and PC at the same time, and the early metrics on Steam show it eclipsing all previous entries in the series. The simultaneous release marks a notable shift for the franchise, which previously spent its opening window as a console exclusive.

  • Released day-and-date on PC and PlayStation, breaking from the series' usual staggered rollout.
  • Immediate surge on Steam put Nioh 3 ahead of Nioh 1 and 2 in peak concurrent players for the franchise.
  • Koei Tecmo's decision to launch on PC at the same time as PlayStation appears to have driven strong early engagement on Valve's platform.
  • The record Steam numbers suggest a sizable PC audience for the series and could influence future release strategies from the developer and publisher.
