Persona 3 Reload

An hour hidden between days

Developed by ATLUS and published by SEGA, Persona 3 Reload launched on 2 February 2024 on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, then on Nintendo Switch 2 on 23 October 2025. The remake rebuilds the 2006 game on the foundations of Persona 5: visuals, UI, battles and daily life have all been redone. Players control a transfer student on Port Island who splits days between classes, activities and social links, and nights between the floors of Tartarus, fighting Shadows in turn-based battles with their Personas.

What the press says

On PS5, Push Square (9/10) calls it a brilliant remake: a still-excellent core, characters made better than ever, many additions, a super addictive loop, brilliant turn-based combat, stunning visuals and an outstanding remixed soundtrack; it regrets that there is still no definitive version and some pacing issues. TheSixthAxis (9/10, PS5) praises a completely revamped experience, a phenomenal story and smooth combat, but flags very adult themes, including suicide, and the missing female protagonist from Persona 3 Portable. TheGamer (4/5, PS5) enjoys faster combat and characters that remain among the genre’s best, but finds some environments lifeless and the Tartarus grind still alive and well.
