Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii on a Mac with a controller

On a Mac: No Mac version. Xbox Cloud Gaming carries it in its US library (checked September 2026) and plays in a browser on the Mac. It also streams from a Windows PC you own. Both normally pass a controller to the game's own scheme. This layout is for streams that do not see the pad. It starts from the turn-based Infinite Wealth template, and Pirate Yakuza is real-time, so the attack, grab and style-swap rows need new keys.
Yes, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii plays on a Mac with a controller, through Xbox Cloud Gaming in a browser or a stream from a Windows PC. This layout is for a stream that misses your pad. Majima's game is a brawler again, so the turn-based Infinite Wealth template it starts from needs its confirm and cancel rows turned into attacks and a grab. A stream's latency is fine for a brawler that is mostly about hitting things.

The layout, control by control
How the layout thinks
- Move and camera. The left stick walks on W, A, S and D. The right stick orbits the camera at speed 18 across and 14 up and down.
- Confirm and cancel. The right trigger and the bottom face button send Return. The left trigger and the right face button send Escape.
- Other face buttons. Interact on the left (E), the playlist and party display on the top (Y).
- Shoulders and clicks. First person on the left bumper (F), reset camera on the right (R). Run on the left stick click (Shift), the minimap on the right (G).
- D-pad and menus. Party chat on up (1), mount and dismount on down (Q), the playlist on left and right (X and V). The map on Back (Tab), pause on Start (F1).
Everything around the fight carries over, but the fight itself still needs its keys.
Tune it
- Light, heavy and grab. Set the right trigger and bottom face button to the light and heavy attacks, and the right face button to the grab, from the game's controls menu.
- Style swap. A fourth change, on a row you rarely use.
- Camera. Pointer speed on the preset's page scales all four camera rows together.
- A buzz on the heat action. Turn on Vibrate in that row's Options.
Three key changes turn a menu layout into a brawler.
If the game sees the pad
Xbox Cloud Gaming normally passes your controller to Pirate Yakuza's own scheme, which is the better way to play. Use that, with this preset off, and keep this layout for the stream that misses the pad. With both running, every press does two things.
In the cloud, Pirate Yakuza takes the passed-through pad first.
