Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (February 3)

It's in the article but just in case anyone misses it, we did a "Hands On" of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii when it came out:

I'm so tempted to play it, but as someone who's only played bits of Yakuza and mainly stuck to Judgment instead, I feel like I need to start with Yakuza 0 and make my way through the series first 😅

@FraserG I feel ya dude! Playing Yakuza 0 and seeing how I get on is on my list for 2026! But it's a LOT of games.

@themightyant A lot of games and a lot of long games! It feels kinda impossible, but I still want to try

@Jaxx420 That's great to know, thank you! I may give it a go then.

I've decided I am not going to aim for completion, just mostly main line them and do a bit of the side stuff I actually enjoy, which reduces most games playtime to around 25% - 50% according to HLTB. They vary in length for the main campaign from 18 - 32 hours up until Like a Dragon, which is quite manageable, then they typically get longer. Whereas the completionist times are 80 - 144 hours to this point.

But the trouble is I do usually complete games, or at least do a lot of side quests, it's my preferred way to play. But it feels like either this or nothing, we'll have to see how I get on. Good luck @FraserG
