Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 Deluxe Edition is a comprehensive fan-made modification (mod) of the classic 2004 PlayStation 2 fighting game, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3. Unlike simple texture swaps or roster expansions, this mod functions as a definitive edition overhaul. It aims to merge the best aspects of the original Budokai 3 with content from its enhanced portable counterpart, Shin Budokai: Another Road (PSP), while introducing new quality-of-life features, balance adjustments, and restored cut content.

The mod is designed for play on PCSX2 (PS2 emulator) or modded original hardware. It is not an official release and is distributed freely by its development team, primarily through communities such as PCSX2 forums, Reddit (/r/dbz), and dedicated Discord servers.
