The third installment in the Nioh series, the game was released for PlayStation 5 and Windows on February 6, 2026.

The main story runs about 39 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 76 hrs, roughly 1.9 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-10400, AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6 cores / 12 threads or higher, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 VRAM 6GB, AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (Rev. 2.0) VRAM 6GB. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. It also needs around 125GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
