Complete Guide to Nioh 3 PC System Requirements

Anticipated as one of the most thrilling early releases of 2026, Nioh 3 has already made significant strides following its PS5 demo. For the first time, the PC version will launch simultaneously, giving gamers an early glimpse into its technical specifications.

Below are the detailed system requirements for Nioh 3, outlining what players can expect from the PC edition.

It’s important to note that both the minimum and recommended requirements are set with upscaling in mind, implying that the game won’t render natively at 1080p. While the specifics regarding the quality of the upscaling technique aren’t fully detailed, it’s reasonable to assume that the minimum settings likely utilize a more aggressive approach.

For those at the lower end of the spectrum, achieving a playable experience at 30 FPS is possible with a GTX 1060 equipped with 6 GB of VRAM, paired with a Ryzen 5 3600. A minimum of 6 cores in the CPU is essential as part of the requirements.

To comfortably run the game at a higher standard of 1080p (again, not native) while targeting 60 FPS, players will need an RTX 3060 Ti with 8 GB of VRAM alongside a Ryzen 5600X. For an action-oriented title such as Nioh, maintaining a frame rate of at least 60 FPS is crucial for optimal gameplay.

Nioh 3’s storage requirement stands at 125 GB, a notable increase from the previous installment, Nioh 2, which asked for 85 GB. This growth is understandable given that the new title embraces an open-world design. Additionally, Windows 11 is the recommended operating system, reflecting the current trend as many new titles increasingly move away from supporting Windows 10.

Notably, although the requirements do not include support for frame generation, Nioh 3 does offer compatibility with this feature, making it an excellent option for players aiming to enhance their gaming experience once they establish a solid 60 FPS baseline.

Nioh 3 Release Date

Mark your calendars: Nioh 3 is set to launch on both PC and PS5 on February 6, 2026, with pre-orders now available across multiple platforms.

Don’t forget to explore the game’s online features, including support for crossplay and various game modes. Constructed using KOEI TECMO’s advanced Katana Engine, there’s hope that the PC version will perform significantly better than their recent offerings.
