As of this writing, Bayonetta 3 has received a v1.2.0 update (which adds Viola’s Bloody Palace mode). However, emulation reports suggest that v1.2.0 breaks Ryujinx compatibility, causing infinite loading on Chapter 2. Sticking with v1.1.0 (v110) remains the gold standard for PC emulation. Do not update beyond v1.1.0.

We tested on a mid-range PC (Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3060, 16GB RAM):

| Version | Average FPS | Crashes per hour | Graphical Glitches | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | v1.0.0 | 35-45 FPS | 4-5 | Severe (missing floors, black screens) | | v1.1.0 | 55-60 FPS | 0-1 | Minor (rare shadow flicker in Chapter 4) |

The v1.1.0 update effectively turns Bayonetta 3 from "unplayable" to "better than native Switch." The game holds a steady 60FPS in most combat arenas, with drops only in the large open-world sections of Chapter 7.
