Yakuza Like A Dragon Is Available On Xbox Game Pass Now

Game Pass-uga Ichiban

Announced during the Xbox + Bethesda E3 2021 showcase, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s excellent Yakuza Like a Dragon is available right now for Xbox Game Pass.

We scored the latest entry in the revered franchise a 9/10 in our review, with the below to say:

Yakuza: Like A Dragon is as easy to love as it is for Ichiban to rip off his shirt in one fluid motion. Its compelling narrative is deep and rewarding, with amazing weirdness and incredible heart in equal measure. Its classic JRPG stylings are cleverly intertwined with the narrative and themes, and take advantage of a modern and relatable context to deliver a knockout blow. Ichiban Kasuga has emerged as possibly one of my favourite protagonists in gaming, and the game itself is one of the most unique rollercoaster rides I’ve had this generation. It’s up there with Persona 5 for me, and that is no small praise.
