Yakuza 3 Remastered[Note 1] is a singleplayer third-person open world action game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega. It is part of the Yakuza (Like a Dragon) series.

The game, which was released on PlayStation 4 in 2018, is a remastered version of Yakuza 3, originally released on PlayStation 3 in 2009. It was ported to PC by QLOC and released on January 28, 2021.

While the remastered version restores some of the content that was removed in the Western PlayStation 3 release, it does not include the Michiru substories from said version and the Answer X Answer minigame from the original Japanese PlayStation 3 release.[1]

Yakuza 3 Restoration Patch

Restores licensed music that was cut from the Western release of Yakuza 3, as well as higher quality videos from the PlayStation 3 version and changes the Tamashiro Family crest to its original pre-remastered design. Additionally, a line of dialogue in a cutscene before the final boss has been corrected to feature a more accurate translation.

High Resolution Font for Yakuza 3

Replaces the font in the game with the same official higher resolution text font for better 4K experience.

Quickstep Restoration
