Nioh 3 Smashes Records: Fastest-Selling Entry Hits 1 Million Copies
The adrenaline rush of perfectly timing a Ki Pulse while a massive demon breathes down your neck. That’s the high Nioh 3 delivers, and it seems everyone is finally catching on. If you’re getting your butt kicked in Team Ninja’s latest stance-switching nightmare, you’re in excellent company.
Smashing Records Faster Than a Kusarigama
Koei Tecmo just dropped some massive news for soulslike fans. Their newest samurai slasher has already surpassed one million units sold worldwide across PS5 and PC. That officially makes it the fastest-selling entry in the entire franchise’s history.
It’s not just moving copies; it’s keeping players completely hooked. The game crushed the series’ previous concurrent player record on Steam right out of the gate. Over 88,000 players were hacking, slashing, and probably crying together over the launch weekend.
A huge chunk of this success comes from that ridiculously generous demo. Team Ninja basically gave away the first 10 hours for free, letting us go hog wild. It was the perfect taste test to get us hooked on the brutal, satisfying combat loop before launch.
See what the media is saying about the fastest selling entry in the Nioh franchise. Nioh 3 has already surpassed 1 million copies sold, pushing the franchise to an incredible 10 million units worldwide.

Ten Million Dead Yokai
Thanks to this explosive launch, the franchise as a whole has hit a massive milestone. Across all platforms and releases, the series has sold over 10 million copies globally.
That’s an insane number for a game that literally punishes you for breathing wrong. And remember, this new entry isn’t even on Xbox yet. It’s riding out a six-month PS5 console exclusivity window, sharing the spotlight only with PC.
Keep the Stances, Change the Playlist
Team Ninja has highly refined the pseudo-historical setting in this iteration. The complex button combos provide a deeply rewarding combat system once mastered.
One notable criticism is the lack of variety in the background music.Exploring the haunted environments is visually striking, but the audio tracks often repeat. Despite a repetitive soundtrack, the core gameplay loop offers hundreds of hours of engaging content.
