PlayStation Plus will offer eight Yakuza games this year<p>Sony is bringing eight
Yakuza games to PlayStation Plus this year as it looks to build out the
revamped service's library with notable third-party titles. Starting on August 2nd, subscribers on all three tiers will be able to snag
Yakuza: Like a Dragon on PS4 and PS5. The other two games hitting the base Essential tier as part of August's
solid lineup are
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 (PS4 and PS5) and
Little Nightmares (PS4).</p><p>At least for now,
Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be the only Yakuza game that will hit the Essential tier.
Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami and
Yakuza Kiwami 2will join the Extra and Premium versions of the service in mid-August. Later this year,
Yakuza 3 Remastered, Yakuza 4 Remastered and
Yakuza 5 Remastered will land on the Premium tier.
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life will hit Extra and Premium in the coming months as well.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Unlike Microsoft does with Game Pass, Sony isn't putting its own blockbuster games out on PlayStation Plus on the day they're released. It has to find other ways to make the service attractive to lure in new users and keep existing members on board. Yakuza is a popular series and those who want to revisit the earlier games (or check them out for the first time) might be tempted to sign up to PS Plus or keep their subscription going to play through them all.</p>
