Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth will not be available on Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus at the time of its release, which is set to launch on January 25. This information comes from Masayoshi Yokoyama, the director and producer at Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, during an interview with Automaton Media. Yokoyama’s decision marks a notable shift from the studio’s previous strategy for game releases.
Yokoyama explained that the decision stems from the belief that the Like A Dragon franchise has gained significant recognition in the Western market, allowing it to stand on its own without the need for inclusion in subscription-based services. The game’s independence reflects its growing popularity and fan base outside Japan.
While ‘Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth will not be part of Game Pass or PlayStation Plus at launch, the situation may change. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is open to revisiting this decision and will promptly share any updates regarding the game’s availability on these platforms.
Now, Let’s dig deep and examine the history of other Yakuza games’ availability on Xbox Game Pass.
Yakuza Games Availability on Xbox Game Pass
Fans of the Yakuza series can enjoy all ten mainline titles on Xbox Game Pass, playable on both console and PC. The lineup ranges from “Yakuza 0” to “Yakuza: Like a Dragon,” including recent additions like “Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name” and “Like a Dragon: Ishin!“
The series has seen consistent updates to Game Pass. “Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name” was released on November 9, 2023, and available on Game Pass the same day. “Yakuza: Like a Dragon,” released on January 16, 2020, joined Game Pass on June 14, 2021, a gap of approximately 17 months. Similarly, “Like A Dragon: Ishin!” was added to Game Pass on October 17, 2023, following its initial release on February 21, 2023, making the gap about eight months.
However, not all titles have made it to Game Pass immediately. “Lost Judgment,” released on September 24, 2021, is still unavailable on the Game Pass. Based on these trends, it seems that new Yakuza games may take eight to twelve months to arrive on Xbox Game Pass after their initial release.
