Yakuza: Like A Dragon is probably coming to Xbox Game Pass soon – at least that's according to the Brazilian Microsoft Store.

We're less than 24 hours away from the big Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, but already we're starting to see some of the big announcements that are likely to be made by the platform holder.

Ahead of the big show going live, a Brazilian Twitter account has shared some images noting that DLC for the Sega-published title was listed for Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft removed any references to the subscription service sharprish once the tweet started getting attention, though.

Following that, VentureBeat reporter Jeff Grubb chimed in to claim that the game is, indeed, coming to the service soon.

If the reports are true – and at this point, there isn't much room to doubt they are – it's good news for developer RGG Studio. The success of Yakuza: Like a Dragon has been pretty extraordianry, and Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi and producer Kazuki Hosokawa have said that the series will remain in the turn-based RPG genre going forward, thanks to its reception.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon was the first game in the traditionally action-oriented series to feature turn-based combat, and also contains plenty of side content, mini-games, and even underground dungeons.

The game released on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam on November 10, 2020 and was one of Alex’s favorite games of the year.

The Xbox leaks don't end there, though; we've also seen the first images of Halo TV series leak online and it's also been suggested that Back 4 Blood will come to Xbox Game Pass on day one, too.
