The Like a Dragon–previously called Yakuza–video game series has been around for nearly 20 years, but it’s never been more popular in the West than it is today thanks to Yakuza: Like a Dragon and its 2024 sequel Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. It figures to move even more into the mainstream with the arrival of the Like a Dragon: Yakuza TV series on Prime Video today, October 24. In honor of the new TV series, several retailers are holding sales on the entire Yakuza series, making now the perfect time to get into the beloved Japanese crime saga. You’ll find deals on console and PC versions of the games, including an Amazon discount that drops the most recent game, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, to just $30 (normally $70).

This nearly 60%-off deal is the best price we’ve seen for Infinite Wealth since its release earlier this year. The discount applies to the PS5, PS4, Xbox (cross-gen) versions of the game, but it’s only available for a limited time, so grab it while you can. As mentioned, Infinite Wealth is a direct sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which starts a new story arc with a brand-new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga. Like a Dragon is a great game to start with if you’re new to franchise. Infinite Wealth continues Kasuga’s story and brings back Kazuma Kiryu, the original protagonist of the Yakuza series.

Like a Dragon’s PS4 physical edition, which has a free upgrade for PS5 players, is only $15 at Amazon and Best Buy. You can also get a cross-generation Xbox physical edition for $15 at Best Buy, while Amazon has it priced at $20.

Yakuza Franchise Sales – PC

For PC players, several online retailers are selling digital versions of Yakuza games for cheap right now:

Each retailer has slightly different games and discounts on offer, and one of the best deals is The Yakuza Complete Series collection at GOG.

Yakuza Collection at GOG — Kazuma Kiryu’s original 7-game arc for $45

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life

Despite the collection’s title, it only includes seven games: Yakuza Kiwami and Kiwami 2, which are remakes of the first two games, remasters of Yakuza 3-5, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, and the prequel Yakuza 0. What you’re getting here is Kazuma Kiryu’s seven-game mainline arc, so it’s also a great place to start. Keep in mind that these games are beat-’em-ups, whereas Like a Dragon moved the mainline series in a radically different direction as a turn-based RPG.

The bundle is 60% off, dropping the price to just $45 (normally $112). While the collection is missing Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth–the seventh and eighth games in the series, respectively–as well as the numerous Yakuza series spin-offs and side games, it’s still one of the best–and, currently, most affordable–ways to experience the mainline series from the beginning. Plus, if you buy from GOG, you get DRM-free copies of the games that you can play without the need for third-party launchers like Steam. GOG also has Yakuza: Like a Dragon on sale for $12.

  • Yakuza Kiwami

Deals on Yakuza Steam Keys

Like a Dragon: Ishin

Other PC retailers like Humble Bundle and Green Man Gaming are running similar Yakuza franchise sales, and their discounts include several of the newer games and spin-offs missing from GOG’s catalog, including Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Like a Dragon: Ishin, and Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. There are also price cuts for Judgment and Lost Judgment, which take place in the same fictionalized version of Japan as the mainline Like a Dragon games, but put you in the role of a detective working against the Yakuza clans. Humble Bundle’s and GMG’s Yakuza games are Steam keys, and Green Man Gaming has slightly lower prices. We’ve rounded up all of the best deals on Steam keys below:

The Yakuza franchise sales at Fanatical, GOG, Humble Bundle, and Green Man Gaming all run until November 7.

Yakuza Series on Xbox/PC Game Pass – Get Big Discount

As you can tell from the number of games we’ve listed so far, Like a Dragon is a big series, and each game in the franchise lasts between 20 and 60 hours, with some stretching as long as 100 hours or more if you aim to do all the side quests (which is often the best part of these games). While that means you have a lot to catch up on before the next game, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii drops for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on February 27, 2025, it also means you’re getting a huge trove of gameplay at an excellent value.

That said, Xbox and PC players can also play the games via Game Pass. Game Pass Ultimate normally costs $20/month, but thanks to this limited-time deal at the Amazon-owned retailer Woot, you can stock up on prepaid Game Pass Ultimate codes for as low as $13.79 for the one-month card (normally $20) or $36.49 for the three-month option.
