Publisher Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (RGG Studio) have announced that Yakuza: Like a Dragon will launch on PlayStation 5 on March 2, 2021 for PlayStation 5 in the west.
The other versions of the game, including the Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, PlayStation 4, and PC versions were initially set to release on Nov. 13 but have been pushed up to Nov. 10 to launch alongside Microsoft’s next-generation console.
Those who purchase the digital PlayStation 4 copy of Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version at no extra cost. It has been subsequently confirmed that the PS5 upgrade will also apply to those who have a physical copy of the PS4 game. The PS5 version can also be purchased as a standalone product for $59.99.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon will support Smart Delivery on Xbox. Likewise, players who buy the Xbox One version of the game, digitally or physically, will receive the Series X version for free. Cross-save between Xbox One and Xbox Series X exists, but that functionality will not extend to PlayStation 5.
Those who preorder the game will receive the Legends Costume Pack DLC, which contains cosmetic costumes of major characters from previous Yakuza games such as Kazuma Kiryu, Goro Majima, and Ryuji Goda.
