PlayStation Trailer Confirms Nioh 3’s Six-Month PS5 Console Exclusivity

A fine‑print disclaimer sets eligibility for other consoles from early August, though no additional platforms are confirmed.

Overview

  • Nioh 3 releases February 6, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and PC, with no other console versions announced.
  • The PlayStation features trailer states the game is "not available on other consoles until at least 6 months after February 6, 2026."
  • Outlets note the clause allows for potential Xbox Series X/S or Nintendo Switch 2 versions from early August 2026, but stress this is unconfirmed.
  • This is the first main Nioh entry not published by Sony, and it launches day‑and‑date on PC, signaling a shift in the series’ distribution.
  • Previous Nioh games skipped Xbox and Nintendo platforms, and director Fumihiko Yasuda said in 2022 there was little possibility of an Xbox release.
