Information about Nioh 3 is starting to generate excitement among Xbox players. According to recent data, the game would not be a permanent exclusive to PS5, but would have a temporary exclusivity period of just six months after its initial release.

If this scenario comes to pass, Nioh 3 could arrive on Xbox Series in August, opening the door for the franchise to finally return to the Xbox ecosystem after years of absence on Microsoft consoles.

The key lies with Koei Tecmo and publishing rights

One of the most relevant points about this information is that, unlike other recent releases, Nioh 3 is not being published by Sony on PlayStation, but directly by Koei Tecmo, which holds the publishing rights for the entire series on Steam and controls the global distribution of the franchise.

• This detail reinforces the idea that the exclusivity on PS5 would be limited and agreed upon only on a temporary basis, without preventing a later release on other platforms. In fact, under this logic, not only Nioh 3 could make the jump to Xbox Series, but there is also the possibility of seeing all three games in the series coming to new consoles in the same period. It’s even mentioned that Nintendo Switch 2 could be among the candidate platforms, although at this point, there is no confirmation or technical indication to support it.

For now, it’s worth emphasizing that this is unconfirmed information, and Koei Tecmo has not announced concrete plans for Xbox. Nevertheless, the context fits with the publisher’s current strategy and the fact that the franchise is not permanently tied to Sony, keeping alive the hope that Nioh 3 will eventually arrive on Xbox Series sooner rather than later.

Nioh 3 will be exclusive to PS5 for only 6 months after release and could arrive on Xbox Series X|S consoles in August this year!
