So long, Denuvo
Sega is continuing totighten up the PC version ofYakuza 0, a wonderfully weird and charming game that’ll consume your life. I don’t think I’ll ever care to revisitYakuza 0— once on PS4 was enough, and I still have multiple sequels to see through — but if my mind does change, I’m definitely double dipping on PC. This port should look more and more tempting to anyone considering starting the series.
Highlights from this week’sYakuza 0PC patch include shader and shadow improvements (especially in Chapter 6), better ultrawide display support, an FOV slider (find it in the advanced graphics menu), and a toggle for the UI. Sega is also striving to clamp down on crashes and improve the mouse controls.
Here’s the rest of the list:
This patch is currently being beta tested, so you’ll have to manually install it within Steam. Find your way intoYakuza 0‘s Properties section from your Steam library. Once there, go into the Betas tab and use “community_test_branch” for the Branch and “DragonOfDojima” for the password.
Users are also reporting that the patch removes Denuvo, so if you have a hard-line stance against the anti-tamper tech, that’s a notable change. It would seem that good things come to those who wait several months or so to buy Sega’s PC ports. Kamurocho’s calling. (And so is Old Man Kuze.)
Beta Patch v3 is live – 16 June 2025[Steam]
