SEGA has released a major new patch for the PC version of Yakuza 0. According to the release notes, this patch adds FOV slider in advanced graphics menu, improves ultrawide display support and camera control when using the mouse and more.

Furthermore, and even though the release notes do not list it, SEGA has removed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from the game. We can confirm after testing the beta patch that Denuvo has been removed. The game now loads instantly and the size for the game’s executable file has been significantly reduced (all games using Denuvo have executable files that are around or more than 200MB. In Yakuza 0’s case the executable file prior to this patch was 220MB and it’s 20MB now after applying the beta patch).

Going into more details, this beta patch also adds support for QWERTZ and AZERTY keyboard layouts, adds Background audio slider in audio menu, adds UI toggle in settings menu, improves mouse scroll wheel behaviour and improves Alt+Tab behaviour.

To access the beta patch, PC gamers will need to enter this password “DragonOfDojima” in the BETAS tab in Properties in Yakuza 0 in your Steam library.

Below you can find the complete changelog for this latest Yakuza 0 update.
