Will Like a Dragon Gaiden be on Xbox Game Pass at launch as a day one title
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name launches later this week on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, but will Like a Dragon Gaiden be on Xbox Game Pass?
For a series that was PlayStation exclusive for the majority of its lifetime, Like a Dragon and Xbox have been extremely friendly over the last few years. Yakuza: Like a Dragon's current generation version was a launch title for the Xbox Series X|S in 2020, while PS5 owners had to make do with the PS4 version until the following year. Also, almost every entry in the series has been made available on Xbox Game Pass – including 2023's Like a Dragon: Ishin! which launched on Xbox Game Pass last month.
Which leads us to Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, which launches on Thursday, November 9 for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Despite having the suffix of Gaiden (which means side story in Japanese), this entry is important to the canon storyline ahead of the eighth mainline entry – Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – launching next year. The game's main focus is showing us what series stalwart Kazuma Kiryu was up to during the events of Yakuza: Like a Dragon. But will Like a Dragon Gaiden be on Xbox Game Pass? Yes, is the short answer. But you can read all of the details, including the Like a Dragon Gaiden release time below.
