A new Yakuza 0 patch is in the works for the PC and currently in its beta phase. Sega is working on an update that will make it look better when played on an ultrawide display, offer new border artwork during certain segments, and allow people to adjust the FOV. People who want to test the update out now on Steam can go into Properties and Betas, then put the “DragonOfDojima” password into community_test_branch to see what it is like.
While many of the inclusions in the new patch are fixing or adjusting existing issues, many additions are designed to make Yakuza 0 look better on PCs. For example, border artwork will appear during some segments. The notes mention “locked aspect ratio” areas, which suggests these could appear during the Club Sega arcade games. People will be able to toggle the UI and adjust the FOV. Some of the fixes will even adjust particle effects and the way shaders and shadow rendering will look.
Here are the full Yakuza 0 beta patch notes at the moment.
