The Nioh 3 demo has arrived on Steam and brings with it a significant download. Players should expect to free up roughly 80GB of disk space to install the demo, making it one of the larger trial builds available on PC at present.
The demo's progress will carry over to the full game when it launches next week, allowing continuity for character builds and unlocked content. The demo is accessible via the Nioh 3 Steam store page and can be installed like any other Steam trial.
By comparison, recent PC demos such as Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties have been much lighter on storage requirements, highlighting Nioh 3's comparatively large footprint. The sizeable download likely reflects dense assets, multiple playable areas and the inclusion of progress carryover data.
Team Ninja's action-RPG series has become known for challenging combat and deep systems. The demo offers an opportunity to sample those systems ahead of the full release, while also requiring a notable slice of HDD or SSD capacity to run.
Further details, including exact file size on specific drives and any platform-specific notes, are available on the Nioh 3 Steam page and the game's official channels. The full release is scheduled for next week, with saved demo progress transferring across to the retail version.
