Persona 5 Royal

Persona 5 Royal is an expanded version of Persona 5, developed by Atlus. It adds new story content, a new party member named Kasumi Yoshizawa, a new semester, quality-of-life improvements, and additional Confidants not present in the original release.

No, Persona 5 Royal is a single-player JRPG with no multiplayer modes. The Thieves Guild feature allows players to compare progress statistics with others online, but there is no real-time co-op or competitive play.

Persona 5 Royal is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. It was originally a PlayStation exclusive but received a multiplatform release in October 2022.

Persona 5 Royal takes approximately 100–130 hours to complete the main story. A full completionist playthrough including all Confidant ranks, side content, and the new Royal third semester can exceed 150 hours.

Persona 5 Royal is widely considered the definitive version of Persona 5, adding a new character, story arc, Personas, quality-of-life upgrades, and gameplay refinements. There is little reason to play the base Persona 5 if Royal is available.

Persona 5 Royal was available on Xbox Game Pass for a period following its multiplatform launch in 2022. Availability on subscription services can change, so checking current Game Pass or PS Plus catalogs is recommended.

No, Persona 5 Royal is entirely self-contained and does not require knowledge of previous Persona or Shin Megami Tensei games. Each mainline Persona game features a standalone story with new characters.
