The series formerly known as Yakuza, now unified with the Japanese name of Like a Dragon, has had an interesting relationship in terms of its western releases.

While it was originally revealed during a Sony conference, we do know that Like a Dragon: Ishin will come to multiple platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
