Beast of Reincarnation Version History: 1.0.6, 1.004 and the Next Build
Every build anyone can name — 1.0.6 on PC, 1.004 on PlayStation 5, and one announced patch with no number. None has an official changelog, and this page says where that was checked.
GAME FREAK has published no line-by-line changelog for any build of this game. That is not a complaint about the developer — it is the fact that decides what this page can honestly contain, and every record below carries what is known and what is not as two separate fields.
Which build should I be on?
1.0.6
If your PC client reports 1.0.6, you are on the launch build and nothing has shipped to PC since release. This is the number to check against.
What is and is not known about 1.0.6 →Announced, not shipped
Announced 5 August 2026, targeted "within a week". Five items named by the developer, no version number, and nothing about it has appeared on the official Steam feed.
What is in the next patch →Every build anyone can name
Three records, and only one of them is a patch in the ordinary sense. Ordered newest first, with the announced-but-unshipped one at the top because that is the one people are looking for.
Unnumbered
Announced 5 August 2026, targeted "within a week"
Announced, itemised and unshipped. It is the only build of this game whose contents are public in advance, and the developer has attached its own caveat that they may change.
1.0.6
4 August 2026 — the launch build
If your PC client reports 1.0.6, you are on the launch build and nothing has shipped to PC since release. This is the number to check against.
1.004
3 August 2026 — reported day-one, PlayStation 5
A PlayStation-only update that exists, whose contents nobody outside the studio has seen written down. Recorded so a player checking whether their build is current knows it is there — not as a patch note.
Why there are no patch notes, and how that was checked
The official Steam Community Announcements feed was re-synced on 8 August 2026 and holds eight posts: a launch announcement, a pre-order entitlement fix notice, and six pre-release event and marketing posts. None is a patch note. The publisher’s own site has no news section at all — its sitemap carries 24 URLs across two languages and not one of them is a news, press or update page.
Every itemised "patch notes" list currently published for this game is a reconstruction, usually a paraphrase of a storefront update blurb set in the visual form of a changelog. That is not the same as quoting a developer document, and no page here will present it as though it were.
If you find an itemised changelog for this game, check what it cites before using it. The test is simple and it takes a minute: a real patch note links a developer post. A reconstructed one links another wiki, or nothing at all.
Where a real patch note would appear first
- The publisher’s Steam Community Announcements feed, which this site syncs several times a day. Eight posts as of 8 August 2026, none of them a patch note.
- GAME FREAK’s official account on X, in Japanese. This is where the 5 August patch statement went, and it has still never been posted to Steam — which is the single most useful thing to know about how this developer communicates.
- Your own client. A build number that is not 1.0.6 on PC is the first evidence that anything shipped, and it will exist before anybody writes about it.
When one does ship, the question stops being “which build am I on” and becomes “did it fix the thing I complained about”. That is a different page: the patch tracker holds each announced fix against the complaint it answers and marks whether anything has shipped, and it keeps the five heavily-reported problems that were left off the list.
Beast of Reincarnation patch notes FAQ
Sources for this page
- GAME FREAK official account on X — first post-launch patch statement — Official, posted 2026-08-05 in Japanese. The developer says it is taking feedback to heart and plans continuous updates, and lists the next patch — targeted within a week — as camera adjustments, larger text, story pacing improvements (with further adjustment planned), a default graphics setting changed from Cinematic to Performance, and other bug fixes, all "subject to change". Read here through two independent English reports rather than translated by us; X serves nothing useful to automated fetching.
- Steam Community — Message from Game Freak [08/04/2026] — Official pinned Steam Community thread, read 2026-08-06 — Sam reposts GAME FREAK's 5 August X statement in Japanese and English, adds that the first patch is being finalised for PC-specific issues, says later patches will include cross-platform fixes, and replies that ultrawide fixes are planned, the DLSS-to-FSR reset is being fixed, Radeon crash bugs are being investigated, and UI text rendering problems will be investigated. No build number or shipped fix is attached.
- Noisy Pixel — Game Freak's post-launch update roadmap — Press, 2026-08-05 — reports the GAME FREAK X statement in English and lists all five items: camera adjustments, increased text size, story pacing improvements with ongoing adjustment planned, changing the default setting from Cinematic to Performance mode, and other bug fixes. Carries the developer's own caveat that "the contents of this patch are subject to change" and notes the feedback route at support.fictions.com.
- Game Informer — Game Freak planning a series of continuous updates — Press, 2026-08-05 — an independent second English read of the same X post, quoting "We take your feedback to heart and are planning a series of continuous updates" and listing the identical five items, the one-week target and the same subject-to-change caveat. Cited alongside Noisy Pixel so no single outlet's translation stands alone.
- Beast of Reincarnation official news feed (Steam) — Official — patch notes and developer announcements.
- MP1st — day-one update 1.004 — Press, launch week, and single-sourced. Evidence that MP1st reports a day-one update numbered 1.004 on PS5 and describes it as improving performance, fixing gameplay bugs and resolving crashes. Treat the PC half with care: the developer's own launch announcement already names 1.0.6, so on PC that number is the shipped build rather than evidence of a separate download. No official notes accompany either. The host returns 403 to automated fetching, so this was read through search results rather than re-fetched.
