Update: Numerous players are reporting errors when trying to download update 1.05. Team Ninja hasn’t commented on these issues yet, but some players have said that restarting their PS4 allowed them to download the patch.
Original Story: Released on February 7 for PlayStation 4, Nioh has sold more than one million copies worldwide, Koei Tecmo announced. As the Nioh website points out, this is the combined total of physical copies shipped and digital copies sold.
To celebrate the milestone, Team Ninja included the Golden Nioh Armor in today’s Nioh update, version 1.04. After downloading 1.04, access the Boons menu from a Shrine to obtain it.
Fextralife translated the patch notes for update 1.04, and you can read them below:
Adjustments
- A new menu is added to the Hidden Teahouse. It will allow players to readjust points
- Items such as arrows and other consumables will now be sent directly to the storehouse if the player’s carry max is reached
- Added an “Other” menu to the “Play Record” window
- The following has been altered in the Game Settings menu under System Menu: Added a weapon type tab; Added an armor type tab; Added a small items tab; Autmatic projectile replenishment at mission start; Center the camera when guarding
- Title screen will now show application version
- Weapons and armors may now be sorted by category
- The Itokuri Guardian Spirit will now give priority to weapon attributes regarding paralysis protection.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where autosaves would accidentally overwrite other characters. (The autosave issue may appear, but the character override will no longer happen)
- Fixed an issue that made some enemies continuously drop Amrita
- Fixed missing assets in some stages
- Fixed an issue that caused the application to crash when fighting certain bosses.
- Fixed an issue where missions could not be completed if the objective enemy was defeated mid-air.
- Fixed an issue where missions could not be completed if the objective enemy was defeated through a wall.
- Fixed an issue where Saika Magoichi and Kelly may be on the ground while in online play.
- Fixed an issue that was matching users again after successfully completing a mission.
- Fixed an issue where correct gestures towards Mujina were not recognized while playing online.
- Fixed an issue where, during online play, players would not be able to open their equipment and would be naked if they were transported while mid-bath in a Hot Spring.
- Fixed an issue where Dual Katana’s Mid Stance strong attacks would not hit if the enemy is guarding.
- Fixed an issue where it was impossible to proceed if the skill Leaf Glide was used against certain bosses.
- Fixed an issue with Suzaku’s Living Weapon trigger.
- Fixed an issue where the correct amount of enemies defeated would not display in the Play Record.
- Fixed an incorrect description of gestures in the trading section of the Hidden Teahouse.
- Other Bug Fixes.
Because of an unexpected issue in 1.04 that allowed players to obtain very high level equipment after a certain amount of forging, Team Ninja has already released Nioh update 1.05. This makes the probability of obtaining very high level equipment much lower than before, as was originally intended.
“We are extremely sorry but players who have already seen equipment drops will see the drops reduced in level to adjust for the original intention,” they add.
March will see the addition of high-difficulty missions to Nioh, while April will see PvP and the Dragon of the North DLC.

Batman: Arkham Knight
While it may not reach the highs of Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham Knight is another solid entry in Rocksteady's Batman series. It's also the first game from the British developer to get an M rating. The car combat is the most divisive addition in the game, so your mileage may vary depending on if you dig it or not.
-
Bloodborne
If you're a fan of From Software's Souls series, then Bloodborne might be the game for you. Focusing on dodging more than blocking, this faster paced action game still retains the high difficulty that has made these titles so divisive. Excellent DLC has also been released for Bloodborne, so there's plenty of content to sink your teeth into.
-
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
The best first-person shooter on the system, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is one of the few bright spots in Activision's series as of late. It features a fantastic campaign that tells a compelling story, and has frantic multiplayer. The additional movement is also fully fleshed out, not feeling tacked-on.
-
Dark Souls III
Dark Souls III brings From Software's trilogy of titles to an end with a bang. There's more customization than Bloodborne, so if you're looking for a game where you can experiment with class types then you're set. Secrets are still being discovered about this recent release, so there's still plenty to learn about it.
-
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls
Blizzard's Diablo III: Reaper of Souls was fantastic on PC, and managed to make the jump to consoles seamlessly. The loot grind is as satisfying as ever here, and cooperative play makes this really shine. You can even play with a friend locally.
-
Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition
Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition is another solid PC port. If you're a fan of computer RPGs then you'll find a lot to like in this modernized throwback. There's dozens of quests to do, and a huge map to explore. Throw in a huge amount of depth to the action, and you'll be set for weeks if not months.
-
DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition
DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition is one of the best character action games ever made. Running at a solid 60 frames-per-second, DmC features some of the most inventive level design in any game period. The action is intense, and amazing boss fights cap off this gem.
-
Dragon Age: Inquisition
The latest entry in BioWare's fantasy role-playing game, Dragon Age: Inquisition, is the best one yet. There's a fascinating story that players can help shape, and the gameplay is more polished than ever. Inquisition is quite the accomplishment, and it's hard not to be excited for the upcoming Mass Effect title from the studio.
-
Fallout 4
Fallout 4 might not be a huge enhancement over Fallout 3, but it's still more Fallout. That's a good thing, and there's still enough here to lose days to once you sink your teeth in. A few new gameplay systems add some additional depth mechanically, and you might just get addicted to building settlements.
-
Far Cry 4
Much like Fallout 4, Far Cry 4 suffers from a sense of déjà vu. That said, once you get past the fact that you're basically playing Far Cry 3 in a slightly less interesting locale, there's still a lot to like. Taking over strongholds is just as fun as ever, and completionists will love finding all the secrets.
-
Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V was one of the best games on PlayStation 3, and it's still one of the best titles on PS4. The latest entry in Rockstar's signature series features plenty of improvements on current hardware including better technical performance, and a first-person mode that changes the game significantly. It's worth picking up if you haven't played it before, or beat it on PS3.
-
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Despite Konami's best efforts to annoy gamers with microtransactions, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is still one of the best games on the system. The Kojima directed stealth game finally reaches the high level of gameplay that the series has always aimed for, and feels like the true culmination of the series. While Metal Gear Solid might be over as we know it, it at least went out with an instant classic.
-
Mortal Kombat XL
The best fighting game on PS4, Mortal Kombat XL features all of MKX's DLC onto one disc. Additional characters such as the Predator and Triborg add a lot to the character roster. There's also a fantastic campaign, as Neversoft proves they're ahead of the rest of the genre in terms of single-player modes.
-
The Last of Us Remastered
Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Remastered is a true triumph in video game storytelling. Sure, there's plenty of action, but it's the slower moments that make The Last of Us something special. Rarely do you care for characters like you will for Joel and Ellie.
-
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the largest role-playing games ever made. It's not just empty land mass, though, as there's plenty of stuff to do. In fact, there's almost too much to do! If you're looking for a game to spend 100s of hours on, then The Witcher 3 is the best choice.
