The PlayStation Plus October selection has a nice surprise in store for fans of narrative role-playing games. From October 21, 2025, Yakuza: Like a Dragon joins the Extra and Premium catalog. A significant addition for subscribers, as the game by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is dense, rich and unexpected. With over 100 hours of content for the most hardcore gamers, it’s one of the most generous titles the service has ever offered.
Initially released in 2020, this part marks a break in the saga Yakuza. New hero, new turn-based combat system, and a more offbeat narrative than ever. We play Ichiban Kasuga, a little soldier from the Tokyo underworld who agrees to serve 18 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. When he leaves, he discovers that the world has changed, that his clan has disappeared and that the one in whom he trusted has betrayed him.
A dense, funny and brilliantly written RPG
Like a Dragon is not just a simple action game: it is an urban fresco made of absurd fights, crazy side quests and raw emotions. You will be able to change jobs like changing shirts – between bodyguard, pop idol or cook – and transform the smallest everyday object into an improvised weapon.
Throughout the main story, which takes around 45 hours according to HowLongToBeat.com, the player discovers a gallery of endearing characters, punchy dialogues, and Japanese-style RPG mechanics revisited with humor. Those who like to dig, complete and explore will have plenty to do for more than 100 hours.
One of the best games in the PS Plus catalog in 2025
Offered at no additional cost to Extra and Premium subscribers, Yakuza: Like a Dragon stands out as a real gem in the monthly selection. It combines narrative depth, accessible gameplay and unique atmosphere. For the curious, it is an ideal entry point into the world of the saga. For fans, an opportunity to relive a modern classic.
Available from October 21, all it takes is one download to immerse yourself in this Japan that is both realistic and fantastical, where battles are won as much with the fists as with the heart.
