Back in January, we informed you about the possibility of Yakuza 0 coming to the PC. Well, Yakuza 0 has been rated by the ESRB and the official PS4 case has been revealed, hinting towards a possible PC release.
As we can clearly see, Yakuza 0 is now advertised as a PS4 console exclusive title, and not as a PS4 exclusive game. This indicates that the game will most probably come to the PC. After all, this is the same brand that was used in Street Fighter V; a game that was made available on PS4 and PC.
Back in January, TSSZ News claimed that Yakuza 0 would be coming to the PC, though it did state that ‘nothing has been finalized, in part because of the large undertaking required to port games of that size, and licensing issues.’
SEGA has not officially announced anything yet.
Thanks NeoGAF
UPDATE:
Here is SEGA’s response to this:
“All that is confirmed and all that players should expect is a PlayStation 4 release. There is no PC version in production.”

I’ll take this with a grain of salt, KOF XIV have the same seal on the box and still no talk about a PC version from the devs.
But SNK didnt respond this way, actually I expect a KOF XIV PC annoucement soon.
KOF XIV confirmed for steam this month
Because SEGA is such a trustworthy publisher, y’know? >.>
Either way, I agree with the mutt Avatar guy, that’s a pretty weak argument.
Argh, I’d give you my neighbor’s milk money for a Yakuza antho release Sega!
I know it’s not likely, but I think it’d get a bigger response than the recent Way of the Samurai release. When the PSNow streaming service launched last month the lack of Yakuza series was one of several key titles that ultimately led to me not subbing. I’m sure with a bit of marketing they could crack 100k titles sold
Even if its coming, so what not even PlayStation gamers have even cared about this series and they keep making it.
For starters, Yakuza is quite the popular IP in Japan and just because it’s not popular in the West doesn’t devalue the game. Hell, Yakuza 0 is the only open world game I’ve been excited for since it doesn’t succumb towards most of the issues many other open world games have with repetition, bad stories, and boring setting. And if you’ve forgotten how well Valkyria Chronicles sold, it’s evident that there’s a audience on Steam for these niche Japanese games that I’d gladly buy.
Yes it is popular in japan not in the west.
It is one of the good Japanese games, but no loss if it does not come.
well it would be dream come true but i will not let my hope up too much.
f sega
EAT S*** SEGA !
Don’t worry, the PR guy who likely said that – John Hardin – is known for blatantly lying to the fans even in the face of evidence proving the opposite.
And what do you think is more likely to tell the truth anyway? A permanent and rather specific logo on the actual box, or a PR person whose job it is to repeat only what has been previously said?
Neither.
Amazon “leaks.”
😀
Sega responds: “why should we make multiplat games and earn more money when we can turn them into exclusive specially for Sony that took our dreamed spot in console business”. they are still better than Atlus though in this regard.
back in the days i would say that “console exclusive” indeed means there might be a PC version, but even some games with “only on PS” label are on PC now so these labels lost their meaning already and it’s all up to the owner/publisher to do what they want.
is normal because pc is dying!
> Sega
> pc gaming is dying
again pc gaming makes more money than all consoles combined, while it is difficult to think of anything that sega is making in the nearest future.
But pc gaming is the one who is dying.
I facepalmed so hard, and then i did it again because i remembered you are a troll.
But hey ps4 is da best, despite that ps4 gamers themselves dong care about this game.
you can say all you want, but you can’t play red dead redemption , virtua fighter v , vanquish ,bayonetta ,ace combat 7 , final fantasy xv , kingdom hearts 3 , injustice 2…and yes you need to wait 1.5 years for a new GTA LOL! MASTER RACE!111
We have an entertainer here guys…
.. …and you can’t play. ..wait! let me go count and come back. .. .. .. …. …….
RDR is borring, why on earth would i want to play a lighting gun game? Vanquish is super short and sold badly, bayonetta? you mean the game that sold so badly that the only way for a sequel was to make it a wiiu exlusive a system with barely any games? Ace combat f2p you mean? Wow amazing dude. Final fantasy will get a pc version you have to be a moron not to think so, i tried playing the first kingdom hearts, horrible game. I played the first injustice, meh, mortal kombat and taken are better. Tell me how many mods you get on gta on consoles? Thats right, but hey pc gaming is dying thats why gta v on pc has sold 5 million on steam alone. Seems like peasants re bought the definitive edition.
So tell me how is it like that you have to pay for online and buy a new upgraded console without any good exclusives coming out?
yeah but if a game hit a PC release IS A MASTERPIECE, but if is console exclusive no is a bad game LOL
p.s. ace combat 7 not the free to play!
p.p.s no good exclusives??? the last of us , uncharted 4 , the last guardian , driveclub ,knack , ni no kuni 2 , bloodborne , dragon quest xi and….don’t know too much games ! LOL
I understand you have lot have of free time, so why don’t you discuss with your “true gamer” friends and spare us.
“yeah but if a game hit a PC release IS A MASTERPIECE,”
no
“but if is console exclusive no is a bad game LOL ”
again no.
The diffirence is pc has so many exlusives that only those who are interesting and unique or are long running pc series with a niche audience are mentioned, not every godamn low quality game that doesnt matter.
“knack”
exactly my point I cant play a garbage game, big deal.
You mention driveclub, that game was crap too, why you using crappy games to make a point?
We have not seen ace combat so why do you even mention it and there is always the possibility of the pc version, the last good ace combat game was on the ps2 last time i checked assault horizon was crap and was on pc and i have not played the one on x360. Why is it a good thing when a series like say ace combat is jumping platforms like this? Am i expected to buy a xbox one for sunset overdrive, a wiiu for bayonetta 2 and the new zelda, a ps4 for the few worthwhile exclusives it has and to get some Japanese games early?
I dont think anyone has a problem with a pc game going to consoles, for example no one cared that shadow warrior went to consoles because the game is the same on pc it was not “consolized” The same applies to doom. You are WOW ZOMG THIS IS GREAT when you got uncharted 4, but pc gamers were too busy playing doom, which you can ALSO play, but to us it feels like a pc game because it was not dumbed down, unlike the mp that no pc gamer wants to do anything to do with it because they dumbed it down.
Look at arma, that game cant work on a console, it should not go to console. Look at rts, those games cant go to console. Some xbox fanboys are ZOMG HALO WARS 2, but the first halo wars was crap and rts dont work on consoles.
“the last of us , uncharted 4 ”
uncharted 4 had too many cinematics and too little gameplay i prefer doom, its not a exclusive. The last of us was good just not this masterpiece they making it sound like MAINLY because of the story not the gameplay, this is what we have an issue with, focusing on freaking hollywood story and calling it a “good game” Bioshock infinite was really dumbed down on consoles, we anticipate system shock remake not because it is a pc exlusive but because it will do system shock right while bioshock dumbed it down and bioshock infinite dumbed it down even further.
” the last guardian”
I have not even played the last 2 games and there is a game like it as a pc exlusive, from what i saw it is very minimalistic and took a very long time to develop, so i dont really care.
“ni no kuni 2”
Pc gamers are not really into jrpgs and japan is porting most of their games the last few years on pc, you only get those games because you using the consoles that these games are made, all they have to do is translate them, there is no reason to put them on pc since the demand for those Japanese game in the west is low and even lower on a platform they were never on. look how badly jrpgs flopped on x360.
“bloodborne ”
Congrats you got another dark souls game in between dark souls 2 dlc and next gen version and dark souls 3….with many dark souls games like lords of the fallen, necropolis, salt sanctuary and the upcoming the surge. Do you even have time to play all those games? No? Then why do you obsessive compulsively post “pc gaming is dying” when its the most profitable platform making more money than all consoles combined and with the most exclusives?
You keep mentioning exclusives as if those games are any good or we care about them, i am sure if you type “pc exclusives” a list of ton of games will come out and since you use last gen games like rdr and the last of us. Pc has the largest list of pc exclusives spanning over decades, we talking about THOUSANDS of games.
So as the other guy said why dont you go play some of those exclusives you got on consoles instead of spamming “pc gaming is dying?”
If a game comes to pc, yay, one more game big deal, it is as important and relevant as the person who wants it. if it doesnt, well i dont care, there are too many games and i wont waste my time and money to buy a console for 1-2 games especially since those might come out later. For example Dragon Quest Builders looks pretty cool, no pc version though, but Dragon quest heroes came out on pc the same year as the consoles and those building games are popular on pc so they might port it later, earth defence force 4.1 was ported, dragon’s dogma was ported and since they port all final fantasy games as of late they will definitely port the new one. We even got quantum break and forza.
Do you see what is happening here? Consoles are LOSING exclusives not gaining. Yet according to you whichever game does not get ported to pc which is the trend to port games that were previously console exclusives to pc….is somehow proving that “pc gaming is dying”
Not you got it backwards the fact those previously console exclusives games coming to pc is proof that pc gaming is growing.
Come man, don’t feed the trolls. Let then starve under bridge. Talking to them is equivalent to hitting your head to a wall.
Seems like it, he just ignores my points and repeats the same old single argument that he knows.
Well hi is a troll…one of those box trolls.
Don waste your time with this troll.
Fk sega they dont care about pc gamers
because the pc market have high piracy…is simple! you can’t hack a ps4 !
I like your reality, mate.
Can you invite the ESA, MAFIAA, MPAA, & RIAA to join you in that reality? I think they’d very much appreciate it, & so would much of the world, honestly.
Also, once they’ve moved over to your reality, can you, like, maybe, just close all the doors behind you, weld them shut, & plant a nice 100-mile long minefield around each one?
Good, great, that’s just excellent, thanks ^^
high piricy even tho pc gaming is rising and consoles are nothing special and can be chipped
most games are uncrackable, where do you ge the high piracy numbers the biggest piracy sites are shut down. Cant say the uncrackablility of ps4 or xbone is helping sales.
the piracy is a big problem on pc look android system the people crack the game with a ridicolous price like 0.79$!
Wat.
PC gaming is a pretty big cornerstone for them with the Total War series and that football game.
Yakuza isnt exactly a main console game, its only popular Japan, in western I cant see it selling more than 10k copies.
Sega doesnt want to go with this because this is a niche game even on console market. And Sega Japan is still a bag of sh ! t company which still lives in the 90s.
What is so “lol” about this one? That game took a long itme to come out and that is only the steam release the retail version or the rockstar site version does not use steam. How on earth are those sales bad? Pc gaming is still making more money than all consoles combined.
yeahhhhhh 11 milion on ps4 and 5 milion on pc BUTTTTTTTT PC GAMING MAKE MORE MONEY THAN ALL CONSOLES COMBINED…LOL IDIOT
All Yakuza fans have consoles anyway. Not that game I want on PC.
sony can keep it i dont want their trash on pc..lol.
Awww, what a shame….
