February has arrived, which means the video game release mill will really start to turn again over the coming weeks. One of the games that will get it moving again is Nioh 3, which releases later this week on February 6. A PS5 console exclusive at launch, but its final trailer has provided hope for Nioh fans eager to play the game on other platforms.
The splash screen at the end of the trailer reconfirms Nioh 3 will launch on PC at the same time as PS5 - a first for the series, but something we already knew. What's noteworthy is that in the second part of that small print, PlayStation confirmed the next Nioh game will only be tied to its platform console-wise for the first six months.
There's no mention of PlayStation's rivals, of course, but that means Team Ninja is free to put Nioh 3 on the Xbox Series X|S starting from August 6, 2026. That would be quite a milestone for the series, as neither Nioh nor Nioh 2 has ever been made available on a non-PlayStation console. Just PlayStation at launch and then PC later, or in this case, a shared PS5/PC...
