The Like a Dragon/Yakuza sequence is likely one of the few franchises that I’m assured will run on the Steam Deck. Not solely has each single recreation within the sequence run properly on the Deck, however writer SEGA has been doing an incredible job with ensuring all of their releases run decently on the Steam Deck. Final yr, they crushed it with help, ensuring video games like Sonic X Shadow Generations, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Persona 3 Reload, and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth are all playable on the go. And it appears to be like like they’re maintaining it going this yr, beginning with Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Yesterday, sequence developer RGG Studio introduced on Twitter/X that the sport is formally Verified, marking it as a “nice expertise” from Valve. I anticipated this to occur sooner or later, given the historical past of the opposite Like a Dragon/Yakuza video games and their badges, but it surely’s nonetheless actually superior to see. I can not wait to have the ability to play Pirate Yakuza on the go, so this does give me some confidence I can.
Nevertheless, I’d additionally take it with a grain of salt. Valve’s Verified system is not probably the most correct, and there are video games with a inexperienced checkmark that ought to not have it in any respect. It additionally is not indicative of how properly the sport will run. Usually, Verified means it could actually run and follow 30 FPS, however even that requirement has been damaged by different video games that acquired the Verified badge. I’m assured that this is not the case with Pirate Yakuza as a consequence of RGG Studio’s stable optimization generally, but it surely’s nonetheless good to maintain it in perspective.
Regardless, I’m assured this shall be an ideal recreation to play. The necessities do look somewhat on the heavy facet for the Deck, however I’m positive this shall be a blast that you may take wherever you go.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii may be pre-ordered for $59.99 forward of its February twenty first launch on Steam. Nevertheless, if you wish to save somewhat cash, you will get it for $52.79 on Fanatical.
