Like A Dragon upgrade option will be available not only to the PS5 but to the Xbox Series X/ Series S consoles as well
The upgrade option will also be available for Xbox users, and smart delivery will take care of it. It will enable users to take the Xbox One version of the title to the Xbox Series S, or the Series X version. RGG has provided really easy upgrade options to both the consoles, making sure nobody misses out on this latest installment of the classic series from Sega.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon features a major change in the gameplay structure. Rather than the classic beat ’em up gameplay, Like A Dragon will have turn-based RPG gameplay. Fans from Japan have given a generally positive review for the title already. As for the rest of us, it will be a long wait till November, but hopefully worth it.
