List of Patches and Updates

This is a list of patches and updates in the series. They are often implemented shortly after the original Japanese release and are directly incorporated upon any subsequent releases outside Japan. In the case of a simultaneous worldwide release, such as games published on Steam, all versions receive support concurrently. This does not apply to Shin Megami Tensei V, however, as the western release would receive its patches a few days later.
