Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii: Is there cross-progression?

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has officially been released. The title had generated much anticipation, being another real-time action-focused spin-off in the long-running Yakuza franchise. This time around, the story shifts focus to Majima Goro as he embarks on a wild swashbuckling adventure. The game is available on a variety of platforms. As such, players might wonder if the title allows cross-progression.

To answer that question, unfortunately, there is no cross-progression in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. However, the game does use Xbox Cloud Saves.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii does not feature cross-progression on launch

Cross-progression refers to a technology where if a player has purchased the game on multiple platforms, their progress in that title carries across them all. It provides a seamless experience where you can stop at a particular point on one console and pick it up from the same point on another platform.

Some games (such as Black Ops 6) offer cross-progression across all major platforms, while others often limit it to PC and/or a specific console brand. For example, players will know that a game allows cross-progression between Xbox consoles and PC only when they see the "Xbox Play Anywhere" tag on it (note that players need to purchase a game only once to use Xbox Play Anywhere).

Xbox Cloud Saves

While Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii isn't compatible with cross-progression, Xbox players can still enjoy a similar experience through Xbox Cloud Saves. This feature makes it so that a game's save files are stored in cloud storage, which can be accessed by any other Xbox console, provided you log in through the same account. This means if a player wants to switch from Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S, they can transfer their account and pick the game up from where they left off.
