Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's Yakuza spinoff game Judgement will soon be available on the latest generation of consoles. Originally released as a PlayStation 4 exclusive in 2019, Judgement's scheduled re-release features upgraded visuals, 60FPS, and all DLC included, for a $39.99 price point. SEGA announced that the game will be coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Google Stadia on April 23rd. However, while Judgement will be on Google Stadia, it is not planned for a regular PC launch "at this time", despite the Yakuza Remastered Collection having recently been released on the platform through Steam.

Well that feels like a slap on the face for PC gamers.

Im going to use this an excuse to tell you all to play yakuza

Also no pc release?

I don't play yakuza series since I avoid open world games. But I am pretty convinced it will come to PC. They probably want to capitalize the console market first before porting it to PC.

Come on Sega we need english releases of Yakuza Ishin & Yakuza Kenzan. Would love to see Yakuza Dead Souls ported over.

No PC release. No, let me rephrase that. There is a PC version. But it's Stadia exclusive. Seriously, what god damn drug did they take that convinced them to do such thing?

Microsoft used power of money, and it's SUPER EFFECTIVE!




Just like EGS pays devs to their games as EGS exclusive.

It sucks that there is no PC release. Well, I guess I'll just wait for it until they do so.

Someone checked trough the site and it seems a Steam release will happen sooner or later.

Guess its on Stadia only right now because of timed exclusivity. MS Store and Steam will see a release.

I don't have any of those videogame consoles, maybe I will get one of the old games later.

makes 0 sense they're not releasing this on pc when they litterally ported almost everything else from the series and it performing greatly on pc

 

[guisadop]

Stadia stopped making their own exclusives, so now they've moved on to the parasitic phase by throwing money at the problem.

I wonder why screw up regular PC.

Google gave them money for it obviously, nobody makes games for stadia with any expectation to make money from sales. I imagine a pc version will come later.

Its mostly all they have been doing, but they will give up soon. A streaming platform with no way to play games locally is doomed.
