Nioh 3 has marked a milestone in the series by being released on all platforms simultaneously, unlike its predecessors, Nioh and Nioh 2, which were temporary exclusives for PS4. This approach has resulted in an impressive success on Steam, where the game reached nearly 85,000 concurrent players, far surpassing the records of its predecessors. Nioh 2, for example, had only 41,325 players at its launch, and the first Nioh had 10,649. Despite the competition from other standout titles in the month of its release, such as Resident Evil Requiem and Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, Nioh 3 […]
Nioh 3 has set a milestone in the series by being released on all platforms simultaneously, unlike its predecessors, Nioh and Nioh 2, which were temporary exclusives for PS4.
Despite the competition from other standout titles in the month of its release, such as Resident Evil Requiem and Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, Nioh 3 is already positioning itself as one of the highest-rated games of the year, with an average score of 86 on Metacritic.
Nioh 3 has reached over 84,000 peak concurrent players on Steam!
A game that has come to stay, there is Nioh for a while
This achievement is a testament to Team Ninja’s effort to refine its combat and progression system, making Nioh 3 more accessible to new players.
In addition, the simultaneous launch has allowed streamers and content creators to generate greater anticipation around the title, which has positively influenced sales.
However, it is important to mention that Nioh 3 will be exclusive to PS5 and Steam for six months, although its arrival on Xbox and Switch 2 is expected later. This strategy could consolidate the franchise’s reach and potentially break sales records for Nioh.
The decision to opt for a simultaneous launch also contrasts with the case of Rise of the Ronin, a title that, after being exclusive to PS5, arrived on PC with multiple issues. This situation emphasizes the importance of making well-coordinated launches to avoid performance errors that could tarnish the player experience.
Nioh 3, the latest installment of the popular franchise that blends action and RPG, continues to enhance the player experience by introducing innovations that simplify the leveling process. One of the most notable additions to this game, showcased in its recent demo, is the option to automatically use accumulated experience items from the leveling menu, a feature that could set a new standard in the Soulslike subgenre. One click and you level up as needed. This function allows players to use leveling spirits, known as spirit stones, with just the press of a button […]
Nioh 3, the latest installment of the popular franchise that blends action and RPG, continues to enhance the player experience by introducing innovations that simplify the leveling process. One of the most notable additions to this game, showcased in its recent demo, is the option to automatically use accumulated experience items from the leveling menu, a feature that could set a new standard in the Soulslike subgenre.
One click and you raise the levels you need
This feature allows players to use leveling spirits, known as spirit stones, with just the press of a button and without the need to exit the menu. When a player is about to level up, the game automatically uses the minimum amount of spirit stones needed to reach the next level, leaving the rest of the experience intact. This eliminates the tedious process of navigating through inventories to use consumables, making the path to character improvement much smoother and more efficient. Compared to other recent titles, such as Lies of P, which introduced colored numbers to indicate when enough experience is available, Nioh 3 joins the trend of enhancing player quality of life in this genre.
In addition, Nioh 3 will have a six-month exclusivity on PS5 before its possible release on Xbox, which represents a significant change in the distribution of the franchise. This is a move that could open the door to access for a broader audience, something crucial for the continued growth of the series in a competitive market.
With these innovations, Nioh 3 not only positions itself as a serious contender in the genre, but also sets a precedent that could change the way players interact with these types of games in the future. The gaming community remains eager for the full release of this promising installment.
The games developed by Team Ninja have been criticized for their poor performance on PC at initial launches, as evidenced by recent titles like Rise of the Ronin and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Despite promises of improvement, these games were released in a problematic state, with frame rate drops and bugs that ruined the experience for many players.

Games developed by Team Ninja have been criticized for their poor performance on PC at initial launches, as evidenced by recent titles like Rise of the Ronin and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Despite promises of improvement, these games were released in a problematic state, with frame rate drops and bugs that ruined the experience for many players.
A game with more than acceptable performance
However, a ray of hope has appeared in the form of the Nioh 3 demo, which has shown significant performance improvements compared to its predecessors. This demonstration is considered a remarkable advance, offering players a first look at the game before its full release. The system requirements have been provided, highlighting that the game is playable on moderate hardware configurations.
To run the Nioh 3 demo, the minimum requirements include an Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor, along with 16 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT graphics card, while the recommended specifications suggest an Intel Core i5-10600K or an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti for 1080p and 60 fps.
Players who have tried the demo indicate that by enabling the FSR 3 option, they can maintain a smooth performance of at least 60 fps, allowing for adjustments in graphical quality to higher levels without compromising gameplay. However, it was also reported that some users experienced slight drops in the frame rate when transitioning to the game’s open world.
Despite the improvements, an attempt to play Nioh 3 on the Steam Deck resulted in a poor experience, suggesting that this platform may not be suitable for the title. With the release of the demo, Team Ninja seems to be on the right track to redeem itself in front of its player community, who are hoping for a more stable release in the future.
It’s the end of the year, you have a little free time and you’re considering playing something. We know. We’ve been there. Because it’s the Steam sales, you know, and if you’re here it’s because you need to know which ones you can’t miss, the best ones. There are too many to choose from and that’s why we picked the eight that will make your eyes sparkle. The eight that, believe us, will make your end of the year perfect. Slay the Spire (€2.29 | -90%) The early access version of a game that is a candidate for GOTY 2026, Slay the Spire, will be released in March […]
It’s the end of the year, you have a little free time, and you’re thinking about playing something. We know. We’ve been there. Because it’s Steam sale time, you know, and if you’re here, it’s because you need to know which ones you can’t miss—the best ones. There are too many to choose from, and that’s why we’ve picked the eight that will make your eyes sparkle. The eight that, believe us, will make your end of the year perfect.
In March, the early access version of a candidate for GOTY 2026, Slay the Spire 2, will be released. Perhaps to celebrate this, the studio has put the original game at an absolutely ridiculous price: €2.29. You have paid for coffees that are more expensive than this game, and believe us, it will not only give you more energy than any coffee you have ever had, but it will also provide you with infinite hours in one of the best roguelikes and deckbuilders in history. At least until we see what its sequel has to offer and whether it can surpass the original.
Speaking of potentially infinite games for ridiculous prices, paying less than 3 euros for The Witcher 3 feels almost like an insult. Between 50 and 60 hours to complete just the main story, and you could go up to between 100 and 200 if you get distracted or want to do everything, this is a game from which you will get everything you want for every euro paid and then some. Because even though the Netflix series is not at its best, it is still The Witcher. Just because Netflix hasn’t known how to exploit it doesn’t mean it’s bad now.
We continue with games that you won’t finish this year or the next, and that also have a television series. Because for a ridiculous price you can get Fallout 76, the game that will shape the upcoming seasons of the Fallout series on Prime Video. What does that mean? That if you are enjoying the series and want to get ahead of what is going to happen, the perfect place to start with the games is here. And not just because it keeps evolving every day that passes.
From Software has no competition when it comes to soulslike games. No one makes them like they do, because that’s what they were created for. But Team Ninja managed to create a new branch of them, more focused on action, which has captivated a particular audience. The result is the Nioh saga, which will release its third installment in a few months, but you can now get its first installment with all its DLCs for less than 5 euros. A real bargain if you’re not intimidated by a good challenge.
Here we conclude with the offers that will make you wonder if Steam is in their right mind to include those that perhaps require a second thought, but not two. Because when it comes to challenges, Hollow Knight: Silksong is two things: one of the most anticipated and celebrated games in recent years and a game capable of energizing the most seasoned player. Absolutely fantastic in aesthetics and extremely difficult for some and simply challenging for others, it is a divisive game, but it has captivated the audience. And now it can be obtained for almost, almost, just 15 euros.
We highly recommend Red Dead Redemption 2 in these lists, but let’s be honest. It’s one of those games that is impossible not to recommend. It’s huge, it’s fun, and it captivates. It’s an absolutely fantastic game that, for just 20 euros, is an investment you don’t even have to think about if it catches your interest even slightly, whether you’re a fan of GTA or westerns. Because if you meet either of the two previous conditions, Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to enchant you.
If there is a game that seems like you have to love or hate, it is Elden Ring Nightreign. Many people have very strange attitudes towards this game, we don’t quite understand why, because we are going to be honest: we think it is a very fun game. Taking the formula of soulslikes and applying it to the logic of multiplayer games, it is an incredibly fun game with friends and sometimes brilliant with strangers. If you like soulslikes for their online component, get it right now, and if it catches your attention and you’re not sure, it’s only 30 euros. Where do 30 euros really take you in this economy?
The GOTY according to the Game Awards and most lists of the best of the year. And there must be something to it when they bless the water. With only a 20% discount and for almost 40 euros, it is the most expensive game on the list, but let’s be honest: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has probably caught your eye. It’s a different RPG, more focused on action, and everyone is in love with its narrative and its world. And now that you have a few days to dedicate your attention to it, isn’t this the perfect time to dive into a game that lasts between 20 and 30 hours?
