Kiryu and friends continue to be popular as Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has cracked a million sales one week after its release, as revealed by publisher Sega and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. This combines digital and physical sales around the globe.

This makes Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth the fastest-selling series entry to date. Predecessor Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which came out in January 2020, sold 1.8 million copies by December 2023, making Infinite Wealth’s pace absolutely rapid by comparison.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio announced that it would release a free t-shirt pack in the game to thank players for their trust and celebrate this milestone. Details on this piece of free DLC will follow shortly, according to the developer.

GLHF’s Georgina Young praised Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth as “absolute perfection” for any long-time fan of the series in her review. “It’s everything we’ve ever wanted and so much more,” she wrote, though she also warned newcomers to the franchise that it may not be the ideal title to start their journey with, “only because you will get the most out of the game if you know the history behind it.”

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth earned itself a perfect score from Japanese game magazine Famitsu, while Metacritic lists it at a score of 89 for both the PC and PS5 versions and 92 on Xbox Series X|S.

Released on January 26, 2024, it’s available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
