Editions Overview (What to Buy)

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is available in multiple editions, making it easy to pick the right one for you.

  • Standard Edition – base game only – physician and digital – $59.99
  • Deluxe Edition – base game extra content – digital only – $74.99

The prices can vary by region and platform. Yakuza Kiwami 3 Deluxe Edition is perfect for fans who want a more complete experience, especially if you enjoy additional cosmetics, music, and unique in-game items.

Deluxe Edition Contents Explained

The Deluxe Edition includes several valuable extras that you’d otherwise have to buy as separate DLC packs. You get: 

  • Base Game
  • Legendary Outfit Pack
  • Legendary Lads & Gals Pack
  • Ryukyu Gal Gang Customization Pack
  • Flip Phone Customization Pack
  • Legendary BGM CD Set for music fans

These extras enhance both gameplay and personalization, making the Deluxe Edition a cost-effective choice compared to purchasing each item individually.

Pre-Order and Account Bonuses

The pre-order bonus adds a unique playable character for anyone who pre-ordered the game. Players who link their profile receive a Sega Account bonus that unlocks exclusive outfits for their characters.

These rewards are mostly cosmetic, enhancing customization without affecting core gameplay or balance.

Individual DLC Packs and Prices

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties offers several optional DLC packs, each adding extra content for customization or music.

  • Legendary Outfit Pack ($3.99) adds new costumes for the main characters. Prices vary depending on the platform, and all items are cosmetic only.
  • Legendary Lads & Gals Pack ($11.99) includes additional outfits and accessories for side characters. These items are purely cosmetic and sold separately.
  • Ryukyu Gal Gang Customization Pack ($3.99) provides new clothing, hairstyles, and options for Ryukyu characters. All content is cosmetic.
  • Flip Phone Customization Pack ($3.99) lets you change the appearance and sounds of the in-game phone. This pack is cosmetic only.
  • Legendary BGM CD Set ($3.99) offers a collection of classic music tracks from the series. It is included digitally or physically depending on the platform.

Customization and Gameplay Impact

Most items in Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties are cosmetic DLC, including legacy-style outfits inspired by characters like Kazuma Kiryu. With these DLC packs, you can change:

  • character outfits
  • hairstyles
  • flip phone appearance
  • small visual details that help your character stand out

A few items, like some flip phone lock screens, give small stat boosts, but they don’t change combat or story progression. None of the DLC items count toward in-game achievements, so you can enjoy them freely without worrying about missing rewards.

How to Access DLC In-Game

You can unlock each DLC at different points in the game or through specific features. Most items become available naturally as you progress through the story, so you won’t need to do anything complicated to claim them:

  • Costume packs unlock when you reach certain story chapters and can then be equipped from the outfit menu.
  • Ryukyu Gal Gang items become available through side activities and related customization options.
  • Flip phone customization unlocks once the phone feature becomes active in the story.
  • The Legendary BGM CD Set is ready right after installation and can be accessed from the in-game music or settings menu.

All Yakuza Kiwami 3 DLC content is easy to find in your menus or inventory. The game clearly notifies you when new items are available, so you can start using your bonuses as soon as they unlock.

Upgrading from Standard to Deluxe

Players who buy the Standard Edition can usually upgrade to the Deluxe Edition after purchase, either digitally through the platform store or by buying a physical upgrade bundle. Upgrading often costs less than buying all the DLC separately, making it the most cost-effective choice for fans who want all the extra content.

If you’re mainly interested in the base game, the Standard Edition is enough, but for those who want costumes, music, and customization packs right away, the Deluxe Edition is the better value.
