Information about Max Payne 3 PC patching system

Last Updated: June 14, 2023

Question: How does Max Payne 3's PC patching system work?  Do I have to get the first patch to play?  How does the Steam version patch?

Answer: Max Payne 3 includes an automatic patching system. When you run the game it will check for new patches, and can automatically download and install them if they are available.

A mandatory patch is required on first launch to activate the game.

Please note that the Steam version uses Steam's patching system.
