Sega has released patches 1.11 and 1.12 for Yakuza Kiwami 3, introducing New Game Plus mode and various visual and stability improvements. These updates enhance gameplay across platforms following the game's global launch on February 12, 2026. The patches address graphical issues and polish elements in key areas like Kamurocho.
Yakuza Kiwami 3, a remake of the original Yakuza 3 combined with the standalone story Dark Ties, launched worldwide on February 12, 2026, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega, the title arrived as a two-in-one package.
Patch 1.11 adds New Game Plus, which lets players carry over progress into a new playthrough. It also improves water surface rendering and fixes lighting problems near the Kubochi River area. The update enhances visuals in Downtown Ryukyu, resolves localization issues in supported languages, and includes multiple bug fixes for better stability and gameplay. Additionally, it corrects color shifting when FSR3 Frame Generation is enabled.
Patch 1.12 builds on these changes with visual and expression refinements throughout Kamurocho and certain mini-games. It implements further stability improvements. While Patch 1.11 is available now across platforms, Patch 1.12 may roll out later for Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X and S versions. These updates aim to boost performance and presentation on consoles.
The patches come shortly after launch, focusing on refining the experience without altering core content.
