SEGA is doubling down on PC gaming, as one of its most popular franchises reaches almost 3 million units sold

The Yakuza saga is one of those whose initial status as a successful franchise with a strong focus on the Japanese market worked against SEGA in its early years, more specifically when it first came to the West. Today, no one doubts the quality of the various instalments, with follow-ups such as Yakuza: Like a Dragon and the Judgment series.

Until now, we lacked more data about its performance away from consoles, as it was initially a brand more associated with PlayStation than anything else. Now almost all of its titles are available on other platforms, and thanks to SEGA’s results report, which has taken stock at the end of 2021, we know that the series has sold 2.8 million units on PC.

These figures belong to the worldwide sales and counting the different instalments since 2019, although it landed earlier on PC with some exceptions released on Steam. It seems that Ryu Ga Gotuku Studio’s games are doing well considering that we are talking about a franchise associated with consoles and, as we said at the beginning, aimed directly at Japanese culture.

However, the bad news is that we still won’t see Judgment on PC. A few months ago, SEGA cleared up a misunderstanding that seemed to point towards this, but problems with the agency of Takuya Kimura, the actor who plays the protagonist, are making it impossible for this to happen. We’ll have to make do with a Lost Judgment on consoles that, while maintaining the essence of the first instalment, is a considerable leap forward in terms of story.
