Pokemon Scarlet Violet update 3.0.0

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet just received their latest update, with both games now at version 3.0.0.

No surprise here, but support for The Indigo Disk has now been added. This marks the end of the game’s DLC, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero.

Outside of that, the Ogre Oustin’ minigame difficulty has been adjusted. A few bugs have also been fixed.

Here’s the full rundown of today’s update:

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk guides list

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are still fairly new, and yet they’re still some of the most popular Pokemon games of all time. There’s a ton of things to do in the game from filling out your Pokedex to hunting Shiny Pokemon to creating a competitive battle team. We’ll be hard at work on brand-new Indigo Disk guides for the new DLC, but this master list also archives every single post we’ve written for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s base game as well as its Teal Mask DLC pack.
