Yakuza 6: The Song of Life - Prologue - Demo is now available for download.

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life doesn't release until April, but that doesn't mean you can't get a head start on the game's spring release: the demo for the title is now available on PSN, and all of your demo progress will carry forward into the final game. That includes any earned EXP, your stat gains, and everything in your inventory. So start putting in time if you want a leg up by launch day.

That's a pretty cool feature that not a lot of demos have, but it does come at a little bit of a cost: the demo will take up about 36 GB of space. Also, it's important to note that this does not act like a pre-load for the game: despite the fact that the demo will download all of the game files, the full game will have to be downloaded separately upon release. We're not super excited to have two separate downloads, but we'll allow it for the nifty carryover of our early progress.

We've been looking forward to this one ever since we got our hands on it during E3 last year. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life releases on April 17.
