Last month, Atlus announced through an official press release that Persona 5: Royal, which has been available for more than two years now on PS4, will be released on PS5 on October 21st. As part of a FAQ posted recently on the official site of the game, the publisher has made some clarifications such as the fact that it is not necessary to have played the previous episodes to appreciate this one. But what you should remember above all is that no update, free or paid, is planned to take advantage of Persona 5: Royal on PS5 if you already have it on PS4. Clearly, you will have to go through the checkout a second time. Hard, especially since the game will land day one on the Xbox Game Pass (Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S).
In addition, it is indicated that in Japan, a physical version is planned for PS5 and Nintendo Switch, but no special edition. Finally, remember that Persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 Portable will also be ported to current platforms.
