With the Nioh Collection hitting the PS5 this week, Team Ninja has released the Nioh update 1.23 February 1 patch — yes, the old one just got a new patch today! While we’re not expecting any new content, this is mostly for PS5 cross-save functionality more than anything else.

Nioh Update 1.23 February 1 Patch Notes:

Here are the PS5 functionality changes made to Nioh 2 with today’s patch which most likely applies to the first game as well (via Team Ninja):

• “Cross-save management” function added
  You can select from “SYSTEM” on the “Title screen”.
  You can upload the save data you have played on the PS4 ™ version, download it on the PS5 ™ version, and continue playing. (It is also possible to switch from the PS5 ™ version to the PS4 ™ version)
  * To download save data, you need to have the same account as the uploaded PSN account.
  * Trophy is treated differently for PS5 ™ version and PS4 ™ version.
  Some acquired trophies (those whose acquisition conditions are difficult to meet again) can be automatically acquired when the save data is loaded.
• Supports cross-matching with PS5 ™ version
  * PS5 ™ version cannot be matched by friends. Use the secret word if you want to play with a specific user.

Team Ninja has not announced any gameplay-related changes, nor are we expecting any. That said, if we spot some, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
