We meet again, Xbox Community!
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, the concluding chapter in Kazuma Kiryu’s saga, is now available! Settle the Dragon of Dojima’s past once and for all in this explosive action brawler, where Kiryu must navigate the yakuza life he left behind and fight for the answers to keep the family he loves safe.
Today also marks the momentous occasion that the entire Yakuza series following Kazuma Kiryu’s story is playable from beginning to end on Xbox Game Pass. To experience it chronologically, start with Yakuza 0, then Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2, the Yakuza Remastered Collection (Yakuza 3 – 5 Remastered) and wrap up with Yakuza 6: The Song of Life. That may seem overwhelming, but once you swear the oath, you’re hooked until the end—just ask your boy, Jeff!
Yakuza 6 follows the legendary yakuza Kazuma Kiryu faced with a question: How far would he go for family? Hellbent on uncovering the truth behind a tragic accident that left his adoptive daughter comatose, Kiryu must fight his way across Japan and through corruption.
Customize Kiryu’s skills and master combos with bone-crushing finishers. Weaponize surroundings and fight with traffic cones, bicycles and everything in between. Kiryu also debuts his Extreme Heat Mode, letting loose for even greater damage payoff with active play.
From the sleepy port town of Onomichi to the rough-and-tumble Kamurocho district, you can dig into dozens of lifestyle activities like bar hopping, gaming in arcades with classic Sega titles, seaside sightseeing, and lending a hand to the locals in need.

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
SEGA of America, Inc.
From the unparalleled realism of the new setting of Onomichi, a beautiful, sleepy port town in Hiroshima Prefecture, to the latest evolution of Kamurocho, the biggest red-light district in Tokyo, Yakuza 6 is the ultimate iteration the game’s blend of gritty crime story, hyper-explosive combat, and all the vices and distractions those locales have to offer.
Enter the “Dragon Engine” – Explore the world of Yakuza like never before. Yakuza 6 is the first current-gen Yakuza title that was developed from the ground up for the current-gen hardware, introducing the seedy Japanese underworld with detailed visuals, lifelike animations, a new physics engine, interactive storefronts, seamless transitions and more.
Explore Kamurocho Reborn and the Scenic Views of Onomichi – The hypnotic lights, opportunistic inhabitants, and hedonistic distractions of Kamurocho look better than ever. Revamped minigames like karaoke, batting cages, darts, hostesses, and the SEGA arcade have been streamlined for maximum pleasure, and new additions like the RIZAP Gym, Cat Café, and Clan Creator are the purrfect distractions after a long night of bashing heads! But it’s also time to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life to play tourist in beautiful Onomichi. This tranquil coastal community is home to plenty of local activities like bar mingling, spearfishing (think action-packed rail shooter … with fish), and more!
Let the Bodies Hit the Floor – Yakuza 6 Kiryu is a 100% certified badass, so that means he’s a battle-hardened veteran when it comes to the art of street fighting. Although he utilizes one fighting style this time around, you best believe Kiryu hits like a truck. Devastating combos and bone-breaking Heat Actions make a return, but now the Dragon of Dojima can fill up a meter to engage Extreme Heat Mode. When activated, Kiryu glows blue and unleashes heavy-damage combos with his fists or any “tool” that’s close at hand.
Fully Voiced Japanese Audio – For the first time in series history, every line and piece of dialogue is fully voiced in Japanese. Let the dramatic story and absurd humor of the series unfold like an interactive foreign film experience.
