Announced during the X019 in London, th Ruy Ga Gotoku series will hit a Microsoft console for the first time ever in early 2020 when Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza Kiwami 2 launch on Xbox One and Windows 10 through the Xbox Game Pass.
Great news!!! The more people get to play Yakuza games, the better. Hopefully this is a trend and more games start going multi-platform and multi-consoles. Exclusivity can go to hell, greats games deserve to be played by as many people as possible.
Xbox Game Pass is great as well, since it will allow a lot of people to try these games for the first time. Which I'm sure will make even more Yakuza fans. Great for Sega, Microsoft, Yakuza franchise and, ultimately, the customers.
this came out of nowhere....
just reminding xbox gamers, this was among the longest running third party exclusive series to date. since the PS2 era. the spiritual successor to shenmue many would say.
i haven't jumped in the PC ports yet but there is definitely positive reception from the series.

Since you've yet to play them, you might want to hold off until they get released on Game Pass. Then you can play them either on XB1 or PC (Windows Store) to see if you like them. Though if you do like them, please consider buying as they're worth it and will help Sega bring more games to these platforms.
Great series! Just be sure not to play them all back to back, or you might get burned out. A nice series to intersperse with other games and enjoy the story, wackiness and enjoyable but liable to get a bit repetitive (if playing games back to back) combat.

Right. I think programmable shaders were adopted fairly early on consoles (xbox360/ps3) (2 Days ago)

@toelessfoot: Well, only recently they have been. I think this is the first gen I've seen where PC's are playing catch up. Not through hardware power, but through development cycles (2 Days ago)

Yeah I think innovations on the console side are taken up more quickly by PC than vice versa because consoles are really lead platform for everything (2 Days ago)

At least for most gamers. Similar to when everything went to pci-e (3 Days ago)

I think we could be seeing a dramatic shift in PC hardware where it'll be essential to own both an SSD and a next gen card with the api's to use them. That also would probably require new motherboards (3 Days ago)

If a game is built from the ground up to take advantage of that, though... (3 Days ago)
