Update: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios that owners of the PS4 disc ꦿversion of Yakuza: Like a Dragon will also receive a free upgrade to the PS5 port.
Sega has announced that the upcoming 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be heading to PS5 on March 2, 2021. Slated for release in mid-November on every other platform, this is something of a minor win for Microsoft. Originally viewed as a PlayStation exclusive series, Microsoft pulled out all the stops to get players engaging with Yakuz♕a on its platform in the last year. With the series and even securing the next-gen verꦉsion for a few months, this news of the PS5 version's belated release seems like a pretty clear victory.
Similar to the Xbox One pܫort, players that purchase a digital copy of the PS4 version of Like a Dragon will be eligible for a free upgrade to the PS5 version. Sega has curiously omitted talking about the physical version, but I do believe that one will a𒁏lso be eligible. The small lead isn't the biggest issue considering most people weren't able to even secure next-gen consoles, but it still signals a shift in priorities for the franchise.
If you'd rather just wait for the PS5 version instead of dealing with upgrades, a standalone version will be released for $59.99. This will likely include 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the same steelbook and bonus DLC that co🐼mes with the Xbox version. Apart from running on Sony's ꦆplatform, the PS5 version will be identical to the Series X port in terms of resolution output and framerate.
It ce🍎rtainly is a bummer that PS5 players won't be able to experience Yakuza: Like a Dragon in an upgra💦ded fashion this year, but at least Sega isn't leaving them behind. What will be interesting to see is how future games in the series handle their release dates. Yakuza is firmly a multi-platform franchise now, but there is always a possibility that it continues with timed-exclusivity on Xbox.
