SEGA has released the first beta patch for Yakuza Kiwami 2. According to the team, this patch adds an option to completely disable the aggressive Depth of Field effect. This is something we’ve criticized in our PC Performance Analysis so we are really happy to see SEGA finally addressing it.
Moreover, this beta patch adds an option to lock FPS in Graphics Settings. (Options are 30, 60, 120 and Uncapped), as well as a control to fast skip dialogues with Right Bumper + A button / R1 + X button/ SPACE + E keys.
Naturally, this update also comes with some bug fixes. For instance, it fixes an issue where incorrect prompt can be displayed during combat using a keyboard and mouse, minor mouse control issues in several minigames and an issue where save data descriptions could disappear.
In order to get access to this beta update, you’ll have to right click on Yakuza Kiwami 2 in your game library, and from the Properties menu go the BETAS tab. Then you’ll have to input the password below and select the branch name from the dropdown menu.
