Nioh 3 to get free update with high-difficulty side missions, rarer accessories, and new skills

Nioh 3 is a pretty loaded action RPG with plenty of things to do and plenty for eager samurai to discover, but since it's been a tremendous success for Koei Tecmo, free content updates are expanding its many features ahead of the paid season pass DLCs (which, for anyone that knows the series, is par for the course by now).

Nioh 3 patch finally makes summons useful in boss fights, brings free armour for everyone

Team Ninja continues to work on Nioh 3. The developer has been releasing regular updates for the action RPG since its launch in early February. Earlier patches have addressed major bugs like healing item use inconsistencies, and more have arrived since to tackle various balance and loot-related issues.

Nioh 3 is, unsurprisingly, the fastest-selling game in the series with over a million units sold

Even before the game came out, it was pretty easy to guess that Nioh 3 would be a hit. From the word of mouth leading up to launch, to the well-received free demo, there was little chance the action RPG wasn’t going to be a major deal.

You're not crazy, trying to heal in Nioh 3 sometimes doesn't work - and Team Ninja is fixing it

Nioh 3 has received a hot new update that brings plenty of bug fixes to very specific issues, but it also implements fixes for a few of the most common - and incredibly annoying - bugs. Patch 1.03.01 arrived earlier on all platforms, and it comes with a chunky set of notes.

Nioh 3 is killing it on Steam with over double the series' highest concurrent player count

Nioh 3 has had a massive weekend on Steam, the type of launch you just don’t often see for Koei Tecmo games. Indeed, this has very clearly been a monumentous release for both the publisher, and developer Team Ninja.

Nioh 3 launches, immediately becomes the most played Nioh ever on Steam

It sounds like Koei Tecmo’s decision to finally release a Nioh game on PC day-and-date with PlayStation has paid off. The highly-anticipated Nioh 3 has gone live across both platforms, a first for a series that typically spends its initial release months as a console exclusive.

Nioh 3 review - Team Ninja’s most accomplished action game, and the series’ most accessible

The moment Nioh 3 was revealed as Team Ninja’s next project, it immediately jumped to the top of my most anticipated games of 2026. That excitement was dampened somewhat when the studio revealed the game’s “open field” level design. I am very much over open-world games, but I was particularly worried that we were about to get the Nioh version of Rise of the Ronin - which, really, was itself Nioh-lite in an open world.

Review

Nioh 3’s generous demo is out now, and your progress carries over to the full game

Nioh 3 is one of the most anticipated games of 2026, and it’s easily among the biggest releases of February. We’re a few days away from the start of that month, however, but we don’t have to wait until then to actually play Team Ninja’s next major release.
