Team Ninja’s highly anticipated next-gen action RPG Nioh 3 has some surprising news for Xbox and Nintendo fans, while PlayStation owners might be in for a shock. A small note in the latest trailer hints that PlayStation 5’s exclusivity over this blockbuster is much shorter than expected.

Here are all the details about Nioh 3 and its upcoming platform releases, launching on February 6, 2026:

Nioh 3: Only 6 Months as a PlayStation Exclusive?

While previous titles in the series remained loyal to the PlayStation ecosystem for years, it seems Team Ninja is changing its strategy with Nioh 3. The official trailer features a subtle message at the end: "Not available on other consoles for 6 months". This is the clearest sign yet that the game will soon be available on multiple platforms.

Which Platforms and When?

• PC (Steam): Good news! For the first time in the series, Nioh 3 will launch on PC alongside PS5 on February 6, 2026.

• Xbox Series X|S: When the 6-month exclusivity ends on August 6, 2026, Nioh 3 is expected to land on Xbox for the first time ever.

• Nintendo Switch 2: With its powerful hardware, Switch 2 is likely to handle a graphically intense game like Nioh 3. This major expansion in August 2026 could see Switch 2 added to the list as well.

What Awaits You in Nioh 3?

• Samurai & Ninja Styles: Players can now instantly switch between the heavily armored "Samurai" and agile "Ninja" styles during combat.

• Open Field Experience: Unlike the linear structure of previous games, Nioh 3 introduces larger, explorable "Open Field" areas.

• Tokugawa Takechiyo’s Story: Step into the shoes of a young warrior destined to become Shogun and fight to survive in a dark, mythological take on the Sengoku era.
