I've seen multiple videos comparing only Yakuza 6, but unfortunately i haven't found one comparing the ps4/ps5/pc versions, so taking a look to the PC version at max settings i can tell that it has obviously better internal resolution(resolution scale), better shadow quality and geometric quality at distance and the PS4/5 uses medium shadow quality and low geometric quality(i know this after looking at videos of the ps4/ps5 versions and comparing them with my game(also specified in my guide)). Now speaking of the PC port, QLOC did a really bad job optimizing the game, and i've readed that every Yakuza game that uses the new Dragon Engine, have performance problems. For now i've only played Yakuza 0 and 6, and i created a performance guide to fix some issues with Yakuza 6, but it won't do miracles since QLOC did a bad port in terms of performance and the AA is awful.

Well for one this particular game is locked to 30fps on ps4 so really the only way to play it properly is on PC. Same with kiwami 2. The others all run at 60 on ps4 so take your pick with them.

I played Judgement and Lost Judgment on base PS4 and played rest of the series on PC, and PC experience was way superior and more enjoyable because of higher framerates and much less annoying stutters/framedrops. Y6 PC port has some issues like physics breaking and occasional stutters when the game autosaves but compared to the PS4 demo version I played, it's way superior and looks better (900p on PS4 vs true 1080p+ on PC).

AA is not that great in PS4 version either, game is built on older "revision" of Dragon Engine which doesn't have TAA like in Judgment/Yakuza 7/Lost Judgment which is way better than FXAA/SMAA and not as taxing as SSAA, perfomance issues were solved mostly when I put the game on SSD and I do it for every Dragon Engine game except 7, because it's a good port by RGG Studio themselves.
