Yakuza 4 Remastered[Note 1] is a singleplayer third-person open world action game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega. It is part of the Yakuza (Like a Dragon) series.
The game, which was released on PlayStation 4 in 2019, is a remastered version of Yakuza 4, originally released on PlayStation 3 in 2010. It was ported to PC by QLOC and released on January 28, 2021.
One of the playable characters had to be recasted for the remastered version due to the controversy surrounding the actor who played the character in the original game[1], but the original model and voice performance can be restored via modding.
The remastered version does not include the Answer X Answer minigame from the original Japanese PlayStation 3 release.
The PC version is missing the Pachinko mini-game found in the console versions.[2]

| Microsoft Store | |
| Steam Play (Linux) | <SteamLibrary-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/1105500/pfx/[Note 2] |
Save game data location
| System | Location |

| Steam Play (Linux) | <SteamLibrary-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/1105500/pfx/[Note 2] |
Transferring Microsoft Store saves to the Steam version
The Microsoft Store save game data location should contain folders which lead to files with hexadecimal names that are either 119KB or 128KB in size.
The 128KB file is the save\system.sys file in the Steam save game data location.
Each 119KB file is either a savegameX.sav or a savegameX.clr (created after beating the game) file in the Steam save game data location, where X is the index of the save, starting at 1.
Which Microsoft Store save is which index can be deduced using the "Date modified" property of the file and the in-game save date.
Transfer is done by copying files from the Microsoft Store location to the Steam location and renaming the copied files correctly.
