How to get Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge 4 Remastered free on Steam

Sydney, Australia — 29 July 2026

The short version: if Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge 4 is in your Steam library, the Remastered build — native 4K at 60fps, the new Cross-Kick and all — is already yours. It landed as a free update on 25 June 2026, and there’s nothing to buy and nothing to redeem. Here’s exactly how it works.

Already own the game? You have it

The Remastered build replaces the standard version through a regular Steam update. If your Steam client is online and the game is installed, the update downloads like any other — launch the game and you’re playing the Remaster. If you haven’t played in a while, hit install and Steam pulls down the current build, Remaster included.

New to the series? One purchase, current build

Buy Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge 4 on Steam today and the Remastered build is what you get — there’s no separate “Remastered edition” to hunt for on PC and no upgrade path to worry about. One store page, one purchase, the definitive version of the fast, hard-hitting rugby the series is known for.

Your saves, and how the legacy branch works

One honest note, because it’s the question that matters most to long-time players: saves and FanHub creations from the original build aren’t compatible with the Remastered version. Nothing you’ve made is deleted — the pre-Remaster game stays available as a legacy branch on Steam, and every team, kit and career you built lives on there. The two builds simply run side by side: keep playing your legacy career as long as you like, and start your Remastered one fresh.

Playing on console instead?

The Remastered edition launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series on 28 August 2026 — and if you’re in New Zealand, PS5 disc pre-orders are already open.
