I know a lot of the issues seem to be with the digital version, but I got the PS5 version working pretty much effortlessly. I will say I hope that in the future there's a UI overlay that asks if you want to download the PS4 or PS5 version because even with some QoL upgrades, it's still not intuitive.
It's been picked up by media, so hopefully this galvanises Sony in some way.
Was going to just play the PS4 version in the meantime, but I've just been informed there's no cross save.
Fuuuck this.

There's no PS5 only edition and there probably won't be. The edition that is currently on PSN will allow you to download the PS5 version with no issue if you haven't bought it before.
I think the issue is popping up for folks that bought the digital version before today. I bought it 3 hours ago and it shows I own both versions. Anyway, it really sucks for those affected. The radio silence from Sega and RGG isn't helping. At least Sony is aware of the issue judging by the tweet at the top. Here's to hoping it gets resolved soon.
Perfect!! Thank you so much for clarifying.
Hey all, just letting people know we are aware and looking into these issues. We'll be messaging updates through our social media.
Sorry to say, but damn I'm glad I bought the disc version when it was on sale. The upgrade from disc worked perfectly.
This is so dumb. Control was a €0,25 upgrade, Nioh 2 was €0,20 and now this one is free? How do they come up with these upgrade prices for upgrades that were promised to be free in the first place? Just check the licenses and unlock it based on that.
They were all free for me in France. Are you in Germany? There's apparently a law there that caused this issue.
The ps4/5 licensing system is a mess.
For me it started with ps4 FF14 and ESO.
Either one for me shows as 'not purchased' within the store. I need to go to my library to find and download them.
Nioh 2's upgrade was sloppy as hell on ps5 as well, if I go to the store and look at nioh 2, I can see it as not-purchased despite getting the 'free upgrade' as a separate, different download.
-edit-
They decided to not do cross-save with Yakuza for some reason, right?

Ok so I just checked it right now
Seems like they fixed it
I went to my library on the PS5
And went to the yakuza like a dragon icon and clicked it to go the page
And there was a new icon on the right side that said free upgrade
And now I'm downloading it
I bought it digital months back and USA region

I'm just gonna piggyback off this thread because it still astounds me this showed up when I downloaded PS5 SKU game last night
???? goddamn
It's a funny quirk of how Sony made things look more complicated by making them simpler in the store.
All of the editions of a game are now under the one game's title in the store, including betas/demos. So you end up with all 3 editions of the game (standard, hero, legendary hero) listed. It gets further complicated by being a cross-gen version, because each version of a cross-gen title also has the listing for the PS4 version (denoted by the - PS4 at the end). So you end up with a 3x2 version, in this case.
It's just made to look a whole to uglier by listing the game as "PS4 & PS5" at the end, so you end up with that stupid looking "PS4 & PS5 - PS4" on the PS4 versions of games that do this. Perfectly not confusing.
The download is now working for me as it showed the "Free PS5 upgrade" icon for Yakuza: Like A Dragon PS4 & PS5. Downloading it now.
The weird part is I had purchased the Legendary Hero edition at PS4 launch and it does not let me download the Stat Boost and Crafting Sets for free, but all other DLC . That is $10 by itself. Also if I go to the product page, that particular edition is showing the full $89.99 price.

I was getting this error too when trying to download directly from the PS5. I had to use the PS app on my phone to queue up the PS5 version download.
Let us know what happens when you speak to PS support -- I'm in the same boat here!
I have the PS4 disc version of this game. How do I upgrade that?
With Madden, I just had to download (free) the PS5 version from PSN. But, Like a Dragon doesn't show that option.
I am in North America.
EDIT: Seems like popping the disc in triggered a download, but hasn't told me what that download is.

No such luck with physical. Not sure what step I am missing. Popped the disc in, opened the game and never was prompted to download or a grab the PS5 version.
So I don't know if I just got a bad support rep or not, but the reason why I cannot claim the "crafting and stat boost" sets are that they are consumables that are not entitled to the PS5 upgrade.
I just don't understand how I bought the Legendary Hero edition at PS4 launch, but it entitles me to the Hero edition on PS5 and somehow still gives me all Legendary Hero DLC except for the consumables lol
Restart the system, worked for someone else with the disc that wasn't getting the option to download.
Installed fine for me off a PS4 disc, I have verified its the PS5 edition. If you try to install the (free?) pachislot machines DLC from Manage content it gives an error, but you can install from the PSN store link on your PS5 or the web. It says its the PS4 version of the DLC though, so not really sure whats going on there. Maybe pachislot isn't an available DLC in the PS5 edition?
I also weirdly had one of the costume DLCs already "purchased", but I redeemed the code in the case anyways.
I was wondering if any of the other DLCs are really worth it but they all seem basically just skins or an extra weapon or two. You can buy a few characters for the "management game" (real estate? club?) like kiryu or majima, that might be the only one I might dip in on.
Still playing Ghost of Tsushima so I will probably finish that before I dip into Y7.

I don't believe it's 4K AND 60fps at the same time. It's either 4K/30fps or 1440p/60fps.
Having the same issue. Reading the Twitter thread, it sounds like Playstation Support is pushing customers back to SEGA.

Damn, haven't been home all day, glad to see the issue has been fixed, the game is downloading now!
Sucks to see that it's not detecting editions correctly, but at least everyone can play the game now. DLC can be downloaded anytime.
Thanks to everyone who helped!
