Persona 5 will arrive this October
Persona 5 RoyalandPersona 3 Portableare coming to PC via Xbox Game Pass, with Persona 5 Royal due to arrive this October.Persona 4 Golden, which is already available on PC via Steam, is also coming to Game Pass. This is exceptionally good news for fans of stylish, urban fantasy JRPGs about hanging with friends, going to school and getting sucked into supernatural adventures.
Here’s the trailer announcing the news as shown during tonight’s Microsoft conference:
Persona 5 Royal is the polished and expanded edition ofPersona 5, and was previously only released for PlayStation 4 (and playable on PS5 via backwards compatibility). Royal added new characters, locations and events to an already pretty big game. Persona 3 Portable, meanwhile, is an expanded and polished version ofPersona 3which was originally released for the PSP back in 2009.
While traditionally exclusive to Sony consoles, Atlus owners Sega haverecently expressed an intention to make all their games available on PC. Porting across Persona 4 Golden worked out wellconsidering it sold over a million copies, despite itnot being a best-in-class port. As a modern game, Persona 5 Royal should hopefully make the transition to PC a little more smoothly.
The Persona 5 Royal bit of this announcement alsoproves my predictions of disappointment incorrect(but my Persona 3 Portable prediction correct). It should also satisfy Ed, who has beenbegging for Persona 5 to head to PC.
Persona 5 Royal were arrive via Xbox Game Pass on October 21st.
