Zenless Zone Zero entered a new chapter with Version 3.0, titled "Confessions of a Dream Player," which launched on June 17, 2026. The update relocated the player from New Eridu to Los Califa, a floating city where about 60 percent of residents are Bangboos. The city is ruled by Ms. Sunbringer, the first Void Hunter and creator of Bangboos. New facilities include a Random Play branch run by 09-chan, a cookie lottery shop, and a tea-serving CUPPA MOMENT.
The version introduced two new S-rank agents: wind-element Verina and fire-element Normu. A gameplay demo released on June 5 showcased the new S-Rank Agent Pyrois, a combat entity manifested from the protagonist's "Legacy of Helios" power. Pyrois can be summoned independently and fights alongside the protagonist, who appears in the ultimate skill animation. Players can obtain Pyrois and a new costume for the protagonist for free by progressing through the main story, with all of Pyrois's Mindscape Cinema duplicates and signature W-Engine to be distributed over subsequent versions.
On June 17, the game launched on Steam, expanding its availability beyond PlayStation 5, PC via HoYoPlay and Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, Android, and iOS. The Steam version supports cross-play and cross-save. The PC version received a visual upgrade including ray tracing, DLSS super resolution, and frame generation. Shortly after release, the Steam version recorded a peak concurrent player count of approximately 13,000, according to SteamDB, and holds a "Very Positive" user rating with about 900 reviews and 90% positive rating. A preview for Version 3.1, titled "Long Goodbye," is expected to introduce the Void Hunter Lemyre Dunn, voiced by Saori Oonishi.

HoYoverse announced during a July 17 preview program that Zenless Zone Zero version 3.1, titled "Long Goodbye," will release on July 29. The update introduces the first agent of the new Lumin attribute: Remiere, an S-rank anomaly agent voiced by Saori Ōnishi. She is joined by Sigrid, an S-rank Ice attack agent. A new permanent content mode, "Mystery of the Lost Path: Bagel Plan," will also be added. The Xbox PC version of the game will launch alongside the update, with cross-platform play between Xbox console and PC versions and temporarily increased XGP rewards. To celebrate the game's second anniversary, players will be able to freely choose and recruit one of five limited S-rank agents during the distribution period. Other additions include new costumes for Lucy, Vivian, Sigrid, and Remiere; a "Custom Modulation" feature that lets players pre-select up to six agents from limited or permanent S-rank agents; and adjustments to beginner guidance and inventory functions.

On July 17, 2026, Pom, the mascot character from HoYoverse's Honkai: Star Rail, appeared in the company's other action RPG, Zenless Zone Zero. The official announcement framed the occurrence as a bug report, stating that residents of Sixth Street had reported seeing an unfamiliar Bangboo. The team said it was investigating and asked players to report any other sightings. Pom was found in three locations: the Video Store, Live House 404, and near the statue next to the Hobby Shop. Players can interact with her, and the dialogue includes keywords from Honkai: Star Rail such as "Two-Phase Paradise" and "fan creation." HoYoverse has scheduled a Ver.3.1 "Long Goodbye" preview program for July 17 at 20:30 JST, where details about the incident may be announced. The crossover has sparked speculation of a self-collaboration between HoYoverse's own titles. Zenless Zone Zero is available as a free-to-play title on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and mobile devices.
