[FingerBang]

Nice! I wasn't sure I was gonna get it day one because of all the games coming out, but more than happy to play it on Game Pass after release!

 

[ManaByte]

Makes sense as every Yakuza game has been on GP at some point.

 

[GymWolf]

Nice get for gamepass.

 

[Aenima]

Im jelly, especially cuz thers no physical version for the west, so great get for gamepass users.

 

[Sticks]

Thank you uncle Phil

 

[SCB3]

Nice, is the next LAD game also on GP aswell?

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

This one was the highlight of the show.

Nice, is the next LAD game also on GP aswell?

No. Though Gaiden was a surprise considering it being a new game.

 

[Team Andromeda]

Gamepass is the best deal in gaming.

 

[Chukhopops]

Well that's really good. Still not sure what Sega is thinking with all those LAD releases in such a short amount of time, there's gonna be some overlap for sure.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Thanks Phil!

Loved the last one and this being on gamepass is sweet!

 

[Orbital2060]

Wow

 

[Xion4360]

sweet

 

[mrmustard]

The gift that keeps on giving.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Thank you uncle Phil

Yes. We forgive you!

 

[systemr123]

This would be a nice get. Now MS, just have a constant stream of great titles on Gamepass please so I can keep being your sub.

 

[Metnut]

Was going to play day 1 but will wait for a steep discount. Too many other games to play anyway in my backlog.

 

[adamsapple]

This is some fan-fuckin-tastic news to wake up to.

Thank you uncle Phil

 

[graywolf323]

I'm a bit surprised because I believe Gaiden is the first Like a Dragon game to be on GamePass Day 1? everything else has come later either when ported or sometime after release (7 & Ishin for example)

The 3/4/5 collection and Zero launched on xbox and game pass the same time as well, but yes this is the first game that's launching on all platforms *and* game pass day 1.

 

[El Muerto]

Already preordered my copy of LAD Gaiden on play asia for PS5. I guess it's staying sealed and i'll just play it on gamepass.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Holy shit! Just started 7 on GP yesterday, hopefully I'll be able to finish it by Gaiden's release,

Good Guy Phil strikes again.

 

[Kenshin775]

Oh wow that's fucking awesome!

 

[Aguero9320]

I don't play these, but nice for Game Pass subscribers who do. Microsoft having quite the end of year. Scream if you want to go faster. Or just scream.

 

[Sanepar]

Wow nice move

 

[Belthazar]

Both definitely went from day-one purchases to wait until it hits the bargain bin or PS+. Can't justify buying them when they're "free" elsewhere.

 

[saintjules]

I really need to finish Like A Dragon and then have to go back. I started the series at 4, which I felt was a mistake. I have to re-fire up the PS3 to play 4 again and finish.

Does anyone know if you can load PS3 data of Y4 and play on the remaster?

 

[JaksGhost]

With the patterns of the other games it'll be either an Essential or Extra PS+ title within a year.

 

[kurisu_1974]

Damn for a moment I thought I missed this release 10 days ago. But it's awkward US date formatting

 

[HarryKS]

Broski, which one is Gaiden? Is it the Infinite Wealth one or is it entirely different?

 

[SteadyEvo]

Great news! Loved Like a Dragon.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I might need to cancel GameFly. Game pass is enough.

 

[Housh]

Tbh been playing the series since the Japanese release on PS2. My computer is way more powerful than my PS5 and I was debating on getting this on Steam or Sony.....now it seems like a no brainer.

Btw, how are the Yakuza games on PC? Do they have shader comp stutter or anything like that? That would be the only reason I would play it on console at this point.

 

[Housh]

Broski, which one is Gaiden? Is it the Infinite Wealth one or is it entirely different?

It's a half length game that has real time fighting like the Judgement games or Yakuza games before Like a Dragon. Infinite Wealth is the full sequel to Like a Dragon which was turn based.

After some real dry months... Game Pass is cookin lately


Just downloaded Payday 3 last night.

 

[DryvBy]

Excellent news. I was hoping to get my Xbox friends on the Yakuza train with me but they refuse to get them or Persona. I hope others aren't skipping.

I suspect that MS knew they'd be getting a lot of new subscribers for Starfield and made a strategic decision to backload a lot of new content to keep them engaged.

 

[YukiOnna]

Broski, which one is Gaiden? Is it the Infinite Wealth one or is it entirely different?

The one set before Infinite Wealth and connects Kiryu's side since 6.

I really need to finish Like A Dragon and then have to go back. I started the series at 4, which I felt was a mistake. I have to re-fire up the PS3 to play 4 again and finish.

I think Kiwami and Kiwami 2 also make things a little weird as 3-5 are just Remasters. Ultimately, you just have to take breaks with this series.

 

[adamsapple]

Broski, which one is Gaiden? Is it the Infinite Wealth one or is it entirely different?

Gaiden is a standard third person brawler game that connects Kiryu's plot between Yakuza 6 and Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.

Infinite Wealth is the sequel to Like a Dragon which was a turn based JRPG.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Good news about Gaiden. I wasn't going to buy it on launch because of no retail version (and importing from Japan is too pricy for my taste).

 

[Bkdk]

will get gamepass for sure, for games without too big of a long term mod support, gamepass is perfect since it's a once and done thing.

 

[Roufianos]

Aweeeeesome

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Fuck you, Sqex and Capcom.

 

[adamsapple]

Fuck you, Sqex and Capcom.

Capcom are also putting out a new single player IP, Path of Goddess, on GP.

 

[DeVeAn]

Nice! Now I can play it and buy later when it drops in price. My favorite series by far.

 

[xellos2099alpha]

Already preordered my copy of LAD Gaiden on play asia for PS5. I guess it's staying sealed and i'll just play it on gamepass

Same and we don't need to take a month for play asia shipment

 

[adamsapple]

Did Play Asia even have Xbox physical versions? Last I saw they only had PS4/5 versions, so this is extra good news for Xbox/PC eco-system gamers.

 

[Isa]

Excellent news. I was hoping to get my Xbox friends on the Yakuza train with me but they refuse to get them or Persona. I hope others aren't skipping.

I feel you. Thankfully most of my main Xbox circle has come around, and even guys who hate turn based combat have been really enjoying Like a Dragon 7. Another one got into it cause of his wife, now they're going through the whole franchise lol. My best friend is finishing up 7 as well to get up to speed with the two new games.

During the story trailer I had to hard stop. It was quite good but too much, I want to go in mostly blind. Next year is going to be insane, hell this year too.

We keep getting those W's gamepass Chads
