Released on January 26, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has already become the franchise’s most successful launch on Steam. Indeed, according to statistics shared by steamdb, the title brought together 46,161 simultaneous players at its peak.
A real record for the franchise. For point of comparison, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name released in November 2023, for its part peaked at only 13,737 concurrent players during its launch weekend.
It must be said that after the renewal experienced with Yakuza: Like a Dragon in 2020, many players wanted to find the new hero Ichiban Kasuga. Alongside the illustrious Kazuma Kiryu, he takes players to a whole new playground, Hawaii. And we can say that Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio did things well for its title as the new map of Hawaii is large and the activities to do there are numerous. Enough to lose yourself for long hours with Ichiban without finding it long.
