Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii was released earlier this week, on February 21, 2025. It was released on multiple platforms including PC, Xbox Series X/S, and the PS4/PS5. The game's system requirements aren't so demanding, despite being visually pleasing.

Gamers who own either an RTX 3080 or an RTX 3080 Ti will be able to play the title at relatively high settings. While you cannot play it in 4K, expect smooth gameplay at 1080p and even 1440p resolutions.

In this article, we explore the optimal settings of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii for both the RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 Ti GPUs.

The game runs incredibly well on the RTX 3080. You get an average of 60-70 fps at 1440p resolution with the High graphics preset. We've tweaked it further for better framerates. Nvidia DLSS has been turned on and set to DLAA, helping it get better picture quality while also improving performance.

We recommend turning off V-Sync unless you own a monitor that does not feature Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreeSync. Also, turn off Motion Blur, as it negatively affects performance, potentially causing frame drops and lags.
