Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, Persona 5 Royal are coming to Xbox Game Pass

Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal are heading to Xbox Game Pass, Japanese game developer Atlus revealed during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022. They will also be available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and WindowsPC. Persona 5 will be available on October 21, while the other games will be released in 2023 on release dates that have yet to be announced. Persona 3 Portable is the most notable of the three ports, mainly because it hasn’t been readily available over the years. His heritage also makes him a sought-after title.

Originally released in 2006 for PS2, Persona 3 is credited with popularizing the franchise in the United States. He introduced concepts such as a daily calendar, which paved the way for his successors. It was last released on the PSP as Persona 3 Portable, which marked the only time the series allowed you to play as a female protagonist.

This will be the first time for Persona 3, Persona 4 and Persona 5 on Xbox. When released on PC in 2020, Persona 4 Golden proved to be a surprise hit among gamers.

Persona 5 Royal, the most recent entry in the main series, added a new dimension to the Persona 5 universe as its protagonist Joker appeared on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a fighter. It’ll be worth watching if it’s able to work its magic on Xbox.

All three Persona games revolved around three Japanese teenagers, who defeat demons while trying to cope with challenges such as academic exams and personal romances. The series became hugely popular in the United States due to its critically acclaimed art and soundtrack, which helped it sell 15 million units worldwide.

Persona 5 Royal is coming to Xbox on October 21st while Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden will be available next year.
