SEGA has revealed in a recent management meeting that the Yakuza series on PC – including the Yakuza: Like A Dragon – has had "quite strong sales", with total copies sold being in the region of 2.8 million units worldwide.
It took a very long time for the Yakuza series to finally get ported to PC, as traditionally each game received a PlayStation-only release – and a lot of the time, Yakuza Remastered Collection in 2021.
Still, things are slowly changing, with the Western release of Yakuza: Like A Dragon launching simultaneously on all platforms – including PC – at the end of 2020. It had a "strong performance" on PC, according to SEGA, and now the publisher has reported in a management meeting (via Yakuza fan site Tojo Dojo) that the entire Yakuza series has had "quite strong sales" on PC.
Specifically, SEGA says that the entire Yakuza series – incorporating the main games, both Kiwami titles, and Like A Dragon – has had "unit sales of approximately 2.80 million units worldwide". SEGA is also satisfied that the PC versions of these games have allowed them to reach more s and "prolong the product life cycle" of the Yakuza series' sales.
Given these sales figures and the next Yakuza game will launch on PC simultaneously as consoles once again.
