Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the biggest Yakuza series game launch on Steam by a long way.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s RPG follow-up just launched earlier today, January 26, and it’s off to a flying start on Steam. According toSteamDB, a database which tracks Steam players and their games played, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has peaked at a concurrent player count of 34,344 less than 24 hours after it first released.

This must be nothing but good news for RGG Studio. To have its two most recent games both set concurrent player records for the Yakuza series at large on Steam bodes really well for the developer going forward. It’s also worth noting Infinite Wealth is enjoying a ‘Very Positive’ aggregate review rating from players onSteamafter over 900 user reviews.

Infinite Wealth has also set records for the Yakuza series elsewhere - it’s currentlythe best-reviewed Yakuza game to datefrom critics. Read our very ownLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealth reviewfor a look at why we called it “one of the best RPGs we’ve played in years.”
