NIOH 3 received a free PC demo one week ahead of the game’s launch
Keei Techmo Games has released a free PC demo version of Nioh 3 on Steam. This gives gamers a chance to play the new samurai action game one week ahead of its full retail release on February 6th.
This demo will allow gamers to play the opening stages of NIOH 3, with up to three-player online multiplayer. Furthermore, save data from this demo can be carried over to the full game. Players of the demo ahead of February 15th will get a free in-game item called the “Twin Snake Helmet” if they purchase the full game.
The Nioh 3 demo is available as of today, January 29, 2026.
This demo allows players to experience the opening stages of the game from the very beginning. Online multiplayer for up to three players is supported, and save data can be carried over to the full game.
Players who complete the demo will receive the unique in-game bonus item the Twin-Snake Helmet for use in the full game. To receive this completion bonus, the demo must be completed by February 15, 2026.
Be sure to take this opportunity to play the demo!
So far, player impressions for the game are mostly positive. NIOH 3 reportedly stutters less than its predecessors. However, some players have reported camera panning issues at unlocked framerates. Furthermore, the game is capped to 120 FPS. That said, with frame generation (4x), players can run this game at up to 480 FPS.
Nvidia’s Jacob Freemand has confirmed that both DLSS and Multi-Frame Generation are supported in NIOH 3. Furthermore, DLSS 4.5 is available through DLSS overrides.
