For the majority of its existence, the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series has been a PlayStation-exclusive franchise. Almost every mainline Yakuza game and spin-off in between, from Yakuza (2005) to Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, has initially debuted on a Sony console. Over the last 5 or so years, though, series publisher Sega has adopted a more multiplatform approach with its long-running franchise. In 2019, the company brought Yakuza Kiwami, a formerly PS4-exclusive remake of the first entry in the series, to Windows PCs. Eventually, Sega ported every Like a Dragon game that was available on the PS4 to PC and Xbox One throughout 2020 and 2021.
