Yakuza 3 Remastered to be locked behind $130 bundle after delisting
The highly anticipated release of Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is just around the corner, and it brings an important announcement from developer RGG Studio. With the upcoming release, Yakuza 3 Remastered will be delisted from the Xbox store, leaving fans with a crucial decision: should they buy it now or wait for the bundle?
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, a remake of the original Yakuza 3 with new content, is set to launch on February 12, 2026. This means the current version of the action-adventure game, Yakuza 3 Remastered, will no longer be available on digital platforms. However, there's a catch for those who want to keep playing Yakuza 3 Remastered.
RGG Studio has revealed that the standalone version of Yakuza 3 Remastered will be delisted, but fans can still access the game and its achievements through the Yakuza Complete Series bundle. This bundle, priced at $129.99 / £114.99 / €129.99, includes Yakuza 3 Remastered along with other Yakuza games, providing a comprehensive gaming experience.
The studio's social media post emphasizes their dedication to staying true to their creative vision. They express their excitement for the upcoming release, stating that everyone at the studio has put their heart and soul into creating this title. The post also highlights the importance of delivering new and immersive experiences with Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties.
For existing owners of Yakuza 3 Remastered, there's no need to worry. They can continue playing the game as usual. However, for those new to the series, the Yakuza Complete Series bundle offers a convenient way to access the original version of Yakuza 3. It's worth noting that the Windows version of Yakuza 3 Remastered is not included in the bundle, so PC gamers might need to purchase it separately.
While the standalone version of Yakuza 3 Remastered will no longer be available, the Yakuza Complete Series bundle provides excellent value for money. It's a significant investment, but for fans of the series, it's a chance to own a comprehensive collection of Yakuza games. The question remains: will you be grabbing a copy of Yakuza 3 Remastered before it's delisted from the Xbox store?
