So... Yakuza: Like a Dragon PS4 & PS5 seems to be broken (update: fixed!)

[MGPanda]

So I've been waiting until 12am to download Yakuza: Like a Dragon because my internet connection is pretty shitty. When the time came, I went into the PS Store and found... The game at 59,99€. It doesn't appear as bought at all, and if I go into my library, I can actually find it, but as a different SKU. Instead of "Yakuza: Like a Dragon PS4 & PS5" it just appears as "Yakuza: Like a Dragon", with its only platform being PS4. Is this happening to anyone else right now? I'll call Sony tomorrow in the morning if it's not fixed by then.

EDIT: Here's two pictures showing the different SKUs. The first one is the one in my library (not showing up on the PS Store), only PS4 version. The second one is the one on the Store, it has PS4 and PS5 versions, and it's full price. If I check the Game Versions on that one, I can only see the "Hero" and "Legendary Hero" editions, both at full price as well.

Who'll tell him

edit: wow I posted this is in the damn wrong form and thread. Wow. Anyway OP it's not out-on PS5 AFAIK

do you have the right version selected?

ps5 does weird things with versions of games

press the option button when selecting a game and scroll down to "Game Version", and be sure to select PS5 | Game Name

Don't think it's out on PS5, bud. Is it?

 

[S1kkZ]

i have the physical ps5 version and yeah: something is wrong. there are some mini games you cannot play. it shows you a block of text "please update to the latest version to unlock". the dual sense is also not supported (aside from the standard vibration).

No version appears at all, actually. Lemme take a couple pictures to make it a bit clearer.

It's supposed to be out on March 2nd, and it's 0:12 right now where I live. I've never had any issues downloading games at midnight when they came out.

its not the pachinko stuff. some arcade games are locked off (outrun, space harrier and some more).

 

[Qurupeke]

I have a physical copy of the PS5 version, the store page on the game info actually takes me to the PS4 version. It's a bit weird.

 

[Derkon]

Possible Sony just hasn't put the download up yet? Might be a different scenario as it's an upgrade but I'm not really sure.

 

[stryke]

I'm just gonna piggyback off this thread because it still astounds me this showed up when I downloaded PS5 SKU game last night

 

[Radnom]

I have the PS4 disc version, and found 'Yakuza Like a Dragon free PS5 upgrade' on the store, I started downloading it OK - from New Zealand though, not sure if maybe it's messed up per region?

 

[Deleted member 17643]

How does installing a PS5 version off a PS4 disc work? Do you insert the disc, cancel the download, and find the PS5 version on the store?

Edit: Radnom literally answered this as I hit reply... (thanks!)

PS5 delivery sucks. I had issues with Rainbow Six Siege but it fixed automatically.

Download the PS4 version and see if it allows you to pick PS5 version from UI (press options when selecting a game, it might show other versions).

No excuses though, Sony dropped a massive ball when it comes to upgrades. It's all separate SKUs, and one mistake can prevent you from playing it.

I got it here in Australia too. "Yakuza: Like a Dragon PS4 & PS5".

Nope, absolutely nothing new if I try to download the PS4 version, just the same thing as on the first screenshot on the OP. Gotta say, I haven't had any issues whatsoever with PS4->PS5 upgrades so far (until now, that is), but it's incredibly poorly done for sure.

I don't want to turn this thread into console war garbage but when they announced Smart Delivery on Xbox Series X|S I kinda cocked my eyebrow, wondering why this was something they'd even bother to mention or make a big deal out of. Then I saw how Playstation handles this stuff and every day I'm happy I don't have to deal with this. What a complete blunder.

Yeah... Sony needs to figure out a better solution for this and coordinate with devs to implement it because that's just silly to a point that it's indefensible really

IKR

I've got a PS5 and I love it, but as someone who got really comfortable with the Xbox and PS4 UIs as they improved over the years... the PS5 UI and user experience needs substantial improvement.

 

[giancarlo123x]

It comes out fucking tomorrow? Fuck yeah I had no idea. Time to crack my ps4 version open.

Wow someone at Sega messed up hard. It should just show a PS4 or a PS5 version. Every other crossgen game does that (if you got both versions/free upgrade, like Miles or Sackboy). I have no idea whats going on with that menu. Repeats of the same game with the various deluxe/special editions too, mixed with variants of PS4 or PS5 versions with.

Store updates overnight, it'll probably take another hour or so for it to correctly show up. Only with pre-loads the games truly unlock at midnight.

 

[artsi]

Yeah this is super confusing. I have the PS4 digital version, and no idea how I can actually download the PS5 version.

 

[opticalmace]

OP, it looks like in that second image it hasn't launched yet? Maybe? Just looking at the date on the right hand side. Maybe it's still not fully up yet.. just speculating though.

And yeah that image with that huge list of versions, what a mess.

 

[Guymelef]

Of course there is people blaming Sony for a thing that it's Sega fault and perfectly works with other games.
The problem here is Sega putting on the Store a single "PS4 & PS5" sku, and that's not like things work on PS5.

perfectly is a bit of a stretch, to this day i have to specifically pick the right version of certain games from the library screen like with miles morales, which i don't even own the PS4 version for

it's sega's fault for this specific mess but there's clearly something that needs to be fixed in sony's certification that allowed them to name the skus like this

 

[Mooksoup]

I updated from PS4 physical disc to PS5 version at 12:30am in Australia last night. (with the disc in my system)
But i had to search through the different versions on the store, until I found the one that offered the Free upgrade from disc.
Might be worth checking the different versions and see if its available for you yet.

 

[Kuro]

Yeah Sega fucked up. Haven't had issues like this with games like Nioh 2.

for the 20 odd times I see this confusing mess happening to people on this forum, I'm just reminded of the incessant:

"Smart Delivery is just a MS marketing term for crossbuy"

 

[thediamondage]

Yeah Sony fucked up royally when thinking through the PS4 <-> PS5 software transition, a really, really set of shitty decisions has been made that will have repercussions for years. Xbox smart delivery is such a huge invisible better way of handling things.

For example I pre-purchased Hitman 3 deluxe edition a few days before release. I can play it just fine, but if I browse the PSN store I can "rebuy" it. I think. I dunno if it'll stop me at the last page of checkout or let me pay $60 again.

They tend to fix it up pretty quickly, so if you can't see the right thing to download probably just waiting a few hours to fix it will make it work, but man they really, really, really need to spend some time redesigning their entire deployment, package, and trophy system so its all one unified game and save system like the xbox, regardless of the platform, edition, etc. Its WAY too easy to get into the weeds on a PS5.

You don't have to search on the Store, in the game page where it says you copy there's a icon with the PS5 free upgrade, it's just easy.

Isn't there some DLC for the pachinko games on the other versions?

Click to shrink...

Yes, there is an humongous 9GB DLC about pachinko, that I don't even know why I downloaded it, apart from being free.

Sega putting Yakuza 7 on PS5 has been one big shit show from the start.

I have checked every version so far, and they all appear as full price. Hopefully it'll be fixed by tomorrow morning.

I honestly thought this game didn't support free upgrades so this thread just saved me from rebuying it digitally a few months down the line

Dunno why I bounced off it, maybe it was just knowing it'd be better on PS5?

Yeah, I can confirm, either Sega or Sony fucked this up.

The PS4/PS5 version seems to be another SKU on PSN than the previous PS4 version and there's no upgrade path available as of yet.

I can still download the original PS4 version but there's a giant link to buy the "full game" for €59.99 on the store.

I think this is on Sega. Other crossgen games with free upgrades don't show a lot of versions like that. Just the PS4 or PS5 version. Digital deluxe/ultimate/gold (whatever they will call it) don't show up in the menu when you go to select what version you want.

We seem to be in the exact same situation then. The link wasn't there a few minutes ago but... But now it's there, lmao. "You like the game? Buy it again for 59,99€!"

Don't blame you. The whole situation has been pretty fucked up from the very beginning, and putting personal gripes that I might have with them alienating what's arguably their biggest fanbase aside, it's been handled poorly to say the least. Like, the free upgrade wasn't confirmed until, I believe, after the game was out on Xbox platforms.

So is this a Sega fuck up? Stayed up late to give it a shot as I was pretty hyped.

Is there a workaround or should I just go to bed? LAWL.
