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.

@KORNdog: hah you mentioned tlou II, i cancelled my pre-order because i'm too hyped for next-gen now, but when the hype kicks in i'll buy it at release most likely. (4 Days ago)

PC for me is best available platform, thanks to the huge games library and 60fps for all games.But still getting a new console for first parties... (4 Days ago)
Seth
sry my mistake, ye i wanted to say that they are huge fans of first parties and ready to move on and wait ages for eventual pc port. (4 Days ago)
KORNdog
there are people out there who are going to wait for PS5 before playing last of us 2. but even that sort of wait sounds far too excruciating to me. (4 Days ago)
KORNdog
@Seth: i mean, it's a viable option, but if you were a big fan of sony exclusives to begin with you'd need to have an insane amount of patience to wait 3 years to play it on PC (4 Days ago)
Seth
@KORNdog: yeah i don't see this happen anytime soon. it's why i find funny some people suddenly say ''i'm done, after 25 years with ps, moving to pc''. (4 Days ago)
