Can I Run Yakuza 6: The Song of Life?
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is an action adventure game from RGG Studio, released in 2021. SEGA published it. It offers a single player campaign. Its Steam review count passes 6 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Completionists have 59 achievements to work through. At 5 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an anime styled world, moving through one continuous open world. The publisher supplies 8 storefront screenshots of these environments. That openness is what costs performance. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. It is played from a third person view.
Why Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is demanding
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Disk footprint is light, near 40 GB. It wants 8 GB of video memory, which rules out the 6 GB cards that are otherwise quick enough. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life needs only 6 GB of RAM.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Yakuza 6: The Song of Life?
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life targets a mainstream modern PC: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660, 2 GB | AMD Radeon HD 7870, 2 GB and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070, 8 GB | AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, 8 GB for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.36x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.77x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.34x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
