If you're reading this and the Yakuza franchise has always piqued your interest but you've never given it a proper chance, you've got roughly 10 hours to take advantage of an outstanding set of deals. Through until midnight tonight, every single mainline entry in the series has been so heavily discounted that a single 30+ hour adventure with Kazuma Kiryu could replace the McDonalds meal you pick up after work tonight. That excludes latest entry Yakuza: Like a Dragon, but given how many hours of playtime you'd be buying here, that title will most certainly go on sale again before you're done with the previous seven games.
So, what are we actually looking at here? You'll want to start with Yakuza 0, the perfect entry point to the franchise. That has just been cut in price to only £3.99/$4.99, which is the cheapest price the game has ever sold for on the PlayStation Store. Next up is Yakuza: Kiwami, a full remake of the PlayStation 2 original. That's just £4.79/$5.99, but then you may already own a digital copy via PS Plus. Then there's Yakuza: Kiwami 2 at £9.59/$12.99 — another great mainline entry. But here's where you get the real bang for your buck, the Yakuza Remastered Collection is now on sale for £24.99/$29.99. That contains Yakuza 3 Remastered, Yakuza 4 Remastered, and Yakuza 5 Remastered. You can then top your spending off with Yakuza 6: The Song of Life at £9.59/$7.99.
That means you can get every numbered entry bar Like a Dragon for less than £55/$62 — the equivalent of a full-priced game! The caveat here is that you need to be quick on your toes to make use of some of these deals. The PS Store January sale ends at midnight tonight, and that's what houses the discounts for Yakuza: Kiwami, Kiwami 2, and 6: The Song of Life. We have roughly 10 more hours where the two lots of deals overlap so you can take full advantage. If you've ever wanted to check the series out, now is the time to do it.

Where do you get your nuts from?
Good series though, I've been working my way through them, but always get disheartened when Mr Shakedown steals my money.
@eltomo. Use your health potion and use the other potionto pick up item andhit him with a supermoves that?always work.word up son
Got Zero and Kiwami. When is Sega gonna put Fist of the north star on sale? Have been eyeing it since I beat Judgement.
Good news everybody!
Although the collection of Yakuza 3, 4 & 5 (currently on for £24.99) sale price ends tonight, all three are now reduced in the new sale for £7.99 each.
So if not bought yet, buy all 3 individually instead and save yourself another quid (£23.97).
Every little helps!
KIRYU-CHAN!!
Great series and Zero really is a fantastic game.
Hi there fellow gamers.
Seriously, give this franchise a chance.
From the awesome begining with Yakuza 0 to the big finale with Yakuza 6: A Song of Life, it is a phenomenal series.
If you are still on the fence, then just grab Zero and enjoy the ride.
Not kidding, that game is a Masterpiece. It has some flaws, but it is so worth it.
The fantastic voice acting and motion capture, the engaging combat system, the really good story and the awesome soundtrack.
It´s fun, engaging, funny, emotional and establishes the characters and the world really well.
Get them while they´re hot 😜
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
See, that’s the beauty of Xbox Game Pass. I’m mainly a Playstation player, but Game Pass already has 0, Kiwami 1 and 2, and later this month will have the remastered collection (3,4,5). It’s incredible value! If Playstation had a similar service, I’d play those with them...
Right I still have kiwami 2 to beat, but I'm thinking I might just pick up the collection and 6 too. Since there ain't much on ps5 to play at the moment, this might do me for a few months. Loved 0 and 1 and was about halfway through 2 but last of us 2 came out and haven't got back, so I think this might be a good time to finally finish them.
Very tempting to get that collection of 3,4, and 5 despite already having them on PS3.
I'd much rather play these on Playstation, but I have GamePass for another 5 months and these are all on there. I wish PS Now had these!
I pre-ordered Cyber Shadow instead
Own the entire series as a friend introduced them to me and I would highly recommend them if you haven't. The storyline is bonkers, the characters are well thought out, best series protagonist in my book. 100% love them dearly.
For a long time I've toyed with getting a Yakuza game but never made the jump. Now, with this deal and with lockdown being extended again, Yakuza 0 has bene bought! Thanks PushSquare for the heads up!
I've ordered Yakuza 0, but it states the offer is on until 3rd Feb?
Wow, those are great prices for amazing games. A must play.
Xcloud is putting Yakuza 3, 4 and 5 on the service. Yakuza in the palm of your hands if you need to be mobile.
Played yakuza years ago on... ps2, was it? Just picked up yakuza 0 in the sale, and I look forward to working my way through the whole series! Good times ahead
@ygorapBFR
Yeah, but it doesn’t tell you when they leave. Wouldn’t want to get 70hrs in, go to do my legend playthrough, and see it’s no longer available.
Plus I’d rather own the games at this price.
Plus I’d rather decent money goes to the developers / publishers and we don’t get sucked into this subscription model.
@shonenjump86 Definitely worth it. 5 runs like crap on PS3 IMO, and Yakuza 3 PS3 had a rushed and woefully incomplete localisation job.
Also, out of curiosity, why does the header image show the Chinese cover art for Zero?
@thefourfoldroot sure, that’s one way to think of it. Nevertheless I think it’s another good option for those on a budget. There’s no right or wrong. I like owning my games too, but for trying for the first time (which is my case with Yakuza) I like the idea of trying it without having to buy them.
@thefourfoldroot lol once it’s no longer available, you can just buy it for a discount.
This is tempting but as I got Shenmue 3 for Christmas, I feel like I should play that first, and then pick these up on the next sale.
I've been interested in these games for a while but never got to buy one. And I'm not missing that offer for zero.
Also I hate the new PS store. That turd is slow and broken. It's like the Cyberpunk 2077 of console websites.
Good thing Yakuza 0 to 5 is free on Gamepass PC. I'm still waiting for PS5 restock to get my hands on Demon's Souls and Returnal.
@dancingstar93 I remember Yakuza 5 took sooo long to download on PS3. All because Sega didn’t really want to release it at first.
Do I need them? No.
Did I buy them? Yes.
@ygorapBFR
Sure, not paying for things is always attractive, lol. At these cheap prices though, I’m happy to own them. £4 to have Yakuza 0 is suitably cheap to “test” the games.
