The Nioh 3 PC system requirements have been confirmed today, detailing the system configurations that can run the game at 1080p resolution, 30 and 60 frames per second.
The requirements, which can be found in full below, aren't particularly demanding for 1080p gameplay, although upscaling will be required to reach the listed targets. The system requirements listed on also confirm the game will support Frame Generation without providing additional information.

Although the Nioh 3 system requirements aren't particularly demanding, previous Team NINJA games released on PC, such as Wo-Long Fallen Dynasty and Rise of the Ronin , essentially required much better system configurations than suggested to deal with their significant launch performance issues. Hopefully, this won't be the case in the game.
While I can't say how Nioh 3 will run on PC when it launches on February 6 worldwide, I can safely say the third entry in the series is setting out to be a great action RPG, and the culmination of all the most recent games released by Team NINJA.
