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. This latest update, predictably, doesn't add any gameplay features, but some of the included fixes will absolutely delight - or vindicate - so many of the game's millions of players.
Max got several hours of hands-on time with Nioh 3, and his biggest takeaway is that, even though he started from ground zero to learn the dozens of complex systems Nioh 3 has, the game offers a great deal of depth to get to grips with.
Between Ninja Gaiden and Rise of the Ronin, Team Ninja has been pretty busy lately. The developer is keeping the pace into 2026 with the release of Nioh 3 on PS5 on February 6. Preorders are now live, and if you act fast, you can get the limited Nioh 3 Steelbook Launch Edition for $70. You'll also get bonus DLC as a preorder bonus when Nioh 3 launches on February 6, 2026.
