Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth Is The Biggest RGG Studios Launch On Steam

The game has crossed more than 46,000 concurrent players.

Story Highlights

  • Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the latest installment in the iconic Yakuza franchise of RPGs. 
  • The game has launched on PC to a great start, averaging more than 40,000 players since release.
  • This makes Infinite Wealth the biggest RGG Studios launch on PC, and rightfully so due to its quality.

As far as the titles that well-renowned Japanese developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has pushed out, it appears that its latest venture Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has become the biggest launch in the history of the game dev on PC. Shortly after release, the title has now clocked a peak concurrent player count of 46,161 players, as per data provided by SteamDB. For reference, Infinite Wealth launched just two days ago.

To take a look at Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the predecessor of Infinite Wealth that came out about 3 years ago now, the numbers on that game pale in comparison to the latest sequel. Its all-time peak is set at 9,535 players, which occurred somewhere around the time of its release. A little higher than that was traveled by Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, a relatively recently released spin-off project, but still nowhere near Infinite Wealth.

The reviews of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth are in as well, and there are glad tidings everywhere on that front. On Metacritic, the game sits at a solid 89 Metascore, with multiple outlets remarking all the glaring positives that the JRPG comes with. eXputer reviewed the title too, rating it 4.5/5.0 overall with reviewer Usama Mehmood remarking, “Infinite Wealth is a JRPG powerhouse, delivering one of the most endearing stories to date and an aspiring open-world design.”

On the flip side, however, one major complaint that most of the playing community has with Infinite Wealth is that it locks the otherwise usually free NG+ mode behind a paywall, meaning that you have to purchase at least the Deluxe Edition of the game to be able to enjoy it. Players are obviously riled up at this idea, calling for a literal boycott of the JRPG over this matter. That doesn’t seem to be working though.
