We have some great news for Xbox players who can't wait to play the latest instalment in the Yakuza series, as Sega has confirmed that Yakuza: Like a Dragon will launch on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S three days before the official launch.
In other words, Sega has announced that Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be launching on Tuesday the 10th of November as a launch title for the Xbox Series X and S, which is the same day Microsoft's new consoles are finally becoming available.
It is still unknown whether the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions of Yakuza: Like a Dragon are also releasing on the aforementioned date, but the people over at Eurogamer have contacted Sega for further clarification, but no news just yet. Until then, the game's launch on current-gen platforms is still Friday the 13th of November.
Even more intriguing is the fact that the PlayStation 5 version has effectively been confirmed, but not much else has been revealed about it; not even a tentative release window, which is definitely weird considering that the series has, for the most part, been a Sony exclusive.
We understand that Sony has not revealed when the PlayStation 5 will be launching, but we do know that it will be at some point this Holiday, and not even then Sega will dare reveal whether the PlayStation 5 version of Yakuza: Like a Dragon is releasing this year or not.
Regardless, this is still great news for those of you who will be purchasing the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series X on launch day; Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be available and waiting for you.
