Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has announced that standalone sales of Yakuza 3 Remastered will discontinue next month, ahead of the Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties launch. The game will then be available only through the Yakuza Complete Series bundle. This move aims to provide a more cohesive narrative experience for players.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, known for the Yakuza series, revealed plans to end standalone digital sales of Yakuza 3 Remastered in the coming month. The decision coincides with the studio's emphasis on bundled collections to better serve the franchise's storyline continuity. Existing owners of the remastered title will retain full access to their purchase, ensuring no disruption for current players.
The change supports the upcoming release of Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, scheduled for February 12, 2026. This new entry will appear on platforms including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and previous-generation consoles. The studio highlighted its ongoing dedication to the community, noting that while individual feedback cannot always be addressed personally, it shapes future developments and maintains a strong fan connection.
For those interested in acquiring Yakuza 3 Remastered independently before the cutoff, digital versions are presently offered at £16 on the PlayStation Store and Steam, or £18 on the Xbox Store. Collectors may also opt for the physical Yakuza Remastered Collection, which encompasses Yakuza 3, 4, and 5. This bundling approach seeks to streamline access for newcomers, allowing them to engage with the full series narrative in one package.
