Modder ‘Jhrino’ has released an amazing mod for Yakuza 0 that lets you play the entire game with a friend via local co-op. This is one of the best ways to replay one of the best Yakuza games on PC. So, don’t sleep on it.
What’s cool here is that this mod adds Kiryu and Majima to various gameplay cutscenes. While it does not change the dialogue lines, it will be cool to see Kiryu and Majima as they work together in the cutscenes.
For those wondering, yes. You can also upgrade the skills of the second player. All you have to do is press “Shift + O” on the Pause Menu. This will toggle between Kiryu’s and Majima’s skills.
You can go ahead and install the mod from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a video for it. This video will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from it. So, be sure to watch it.
Do note that to install the mod, you’ll also need the latest Shin Ryu Mod Manager. You will find a download link for it via NexusMods. Also, the mod is currently compatible with the Steam and GOG versions of Yakuza 0. It’s unknown whether it will work with the Microsoft Store version.
The mod will work best with XInput controllers (Xbox/Gamepads) with Steam Input enabled. Dualshock/Dualsense might work fine, but they were not tested extensively.
As I said, this is a local co-op mod. However, you might also be able to make it work online. To do this, you’ll have to use Parsec or RemotePlayWhatever.
So, there you have it. Yakuza 0 is easily one of the best Yakuza games. And now, you can experience it with a friend.
Have fun!
