[QUOTE="Admin, post: 61980, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/like-a-dragon-infinite-wealth']Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth[/URL] has logged the Yakuza series' biggest ever launch on Steam, with more than four times the player count of previous mainline entry Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Infinite Wealth, which arrived January 26 as the eight mainline Yakuza game, achieved a peak concurrent player count of 46,161 during its launch weekend, compared to the seventh mainline entry's peak of 9,535 concurrent players, according to [URL='https://steamdb.info/app/2072450/charts/']SteamDB[/URL].

But the growth from [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/yakuza-like-a-dragon-review']Yakuza: Like a Dragon[/URL] to Infinite Wealth certainly suggests a huge boost in popularity of the series overall.
