Nintendo has just released Bayonetta 3 on Nintendo Switch. And, while this game is exclusive to Nintendo’s console, PC gamers can already enjoy it as both yuzu and Ryujinx can emulate it.
Now what’s really amazing here is that PC gamers will get a much better experience than their console friends. Bayonetta 3 on Nintendo Switch has major performance issues. However, the game can run at native 4K and with constant 60fps on high-end PC systems. Seriously, this is the way the game is meant to be experienced, and only PC gamers can currently enjoy it.
Below you can find a video, showcasing the game running in 4K with 60fps on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti.
You can download the latest versions of yuzu and Ryujinx from here and here, respectively.
Enjoy!

Its not playable yet. Works only in Ryniix, and have glitches and audio desync in scenes. Wait to they fix it for maximum experience
you can play so it’s playable
Shut up dude, Jesus.
Stop crying
How do people like you function? Who wipes you?
I guess that’s true, but playable in emulator usually means “you can play from start to finish but will experience lots of graphic/sound glitches”.
Great, so now you can see the PS3-era graphics in all their glory.
it’s a repetitive boring game anyway
Thanks for this heads up. I’m going out right now to buy a 3080 ti, so I can play a game in 4k that IS NOT IN 4K. Awesome…
How is it not 4k? And the GPU in emulation doesn’t matter too much. If you knew what you were talking about you’d mention the 12900k.
Please explain to me how a game running 810p on switch is running 4k on PC. Make that work for me. For years I’ve watch all the dummies write/proclaim “it’s in 4k” as if saying it, makes it so. This game has ZERO 4k textures. Saying a game is running 4k doesn’t make it so. If I took 480p tv source and played it on my 4k projector in 4k mode, does that make it 4k? NO IT DOESN’T.
Tell me you don’t know much about tech without telling me. 4k refers to the pixels being rendered not texture resolution. If you don’t at least know that much you just wasted 3 minutes of my time.
The funny thing is you’re actually correct, and these idiots are all retarded, but you said it in such a stupid way its impossible to agree with you lol
It’s almost as if they could’ve put this on steam and made money
Nintendo funded the game.
Doesnt change the fact that they could have released on steam. Some fans would have been able to play and plat would have gotten some money
Yeah but they need to pay their developers upfront and they need to have guaranteed money. Besides, I think they are contractually locked in since Bayonetta 2 on the Wii U.
Regardless, I won’t touch anything that’s not on PC(or nintendo DS?) and at best I will emulate.
God the Switch is such garbage. A f**king phone these days has more power. Nintendo is such a backwards company. They are intentionally holding back on graphics to make money off the hardware in addition to software. It’s so stupid. The apple of consoles
Well blame their fanbase not them. They are only doing what their fanbase supports them
to get away with.
nintendo 720p graphics running on a toaster, outselling PC games running 8k on a $2,000 GPU
lol, if anything that should tell you how pointless graphics are relative to enjoyment
even on PC I find smaller games way more enjoyable than the 150GB AAA bloat
yes but the switch has actve cooling and less overhead than a phone. The margins on the switch are probably slim
Bayonetta 3 is only playable on Ryujinx atm , Yuzu the scam emulator with 20K$ brainless patreons cant run the game and barely run any game with constant crashes, do a better research OP , the title should have been “Playable via Ryujinx” those guys deserve support
YUZU works now. v.3071 here
who cares, game is woke
In which way?
1) they put in a “censored” mode to pander and cater to the whining sjw prudes
2) viola

Censor mode used to be called parent lock back then, when games like Soldier of Fortune have them for the gory bits. I only played the PC port of the first one, this franchise is like a schrodinger feminist, it’s either feminist or “male gaze” depending on the mood swing of the activist discussing it.
spot the PC fanboys in the comments, lol!
The only down side here is that the people running Nintendo are likely still so unable to understand enough about what they themselves do, that they won’t even know how embarrassed they should be by this.
That was fast.
Dumb button smasher game.
What’s the minimum CPU required for at least stable 30 fps and no sound glitch?
Good question but I have put a YUZU emu on a i7 4770 with no problems
Is a PS/xbox style controller doable?
I use an xbox360 controller wired and I use a wireless one with a wifi dongle
YUZU version 3071 allows Bayonetta 3 to work now. How far you can go before a crash I haven’t tried. EDIT: i5 11600k RTX 3060ti 32GB ram
I’m getting 30fps cutscene’s 56-60fps gameplay. Crashed twice in Chapter 3 cutscene but I played thru the cutscene the 3rd time? My Switch plays this game like CRAP poor framerate and sh**ty picture. YUZU plays it 1080p smooth AF.
It only works because you have a monster pc. RTX 3K line? Srsly? 32GB of available ram, again srsly? An I5? For a game that looks like THIS? Where it would work on a larger range of hardware had it been ported properly on pc? I wish people like you would stop showcasing games, because it’s not telling the whole story and serves no purpose in benchmarking lower to mid ends…
I also have YUZU installed on an i7-4770 with 16GB of Ram and a GTX 1650 super and Bayonetta 3 also runs fine. YUZU is on version 3414 beta now.
Really…
The gayming- and woke-urinalist already kvetching, again, about Bayonetta 3 being too smexy and hurting empowered whamen for dressing like that.
Who cares. The game looks and runs just fine on Switch. Im playing it mostly handheld and it’s fantastic. You guys are getting a little weird about the Switch.
I am a website designer. Recently, I am designing a website template about gate.io. The boss’s requirements are very strange, which makes me very difficult. I have consulted many websites, and later I discovered your blog, which is the style I hope to need. thank you very much. Would you allow me to use your blog style as a reference? thank you!
