PlayStation Plus continues to offer games in subscription services with the transition to a three-tier service. Sony announced that the Yakuza: Like a Dragon game will be added to the PS Plus Essential subscription layer, which we reported on the site, and published a blog post announcing that more Yakuza games will be added to the subscription in the coming hours.
Starting this month, 8 Yakuza games will be added to the subscription
In addition to Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which was added to the PS Plus Essential subscription service in August, PS Plus members will have access to all the games from the Kazuma Kiryu saga in 2022. This announcement means that the full Yakuza range will be available to PS Plus members in 2022, depending on their membership tier. PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers will have access to Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 next month.
8 Yakuza games are coming to PlayStation Plus in 2022, with first titles becoming available in August.

It should be noted that Yakuza Kiwami 1 and Yakuza Kiwami 2 are remakes of the first two games, while Yakuza 0 is the prequel of the series. Although the Yakuza series received generally positive points, it should be noted that many people think that Yakuza 0 is the best Yakuza game.
The release dates of the other games have not been finalized. However, they will be added to the PS Plus Extra and Premium service in 2022. The Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4 and Yakuza 5 will be added to the PS Plus Premium service. That’s why PS Plus Extra members will need to upgrade.
