Customers are saying

Customers admire Persona 5 Royal's captivating story and superb gameplay mechanics, praising its extensive content and portability on the Switch. While some mention lengthy dialogue and slightly blurry resolution on the Switch version, the positive feedback on the music, performance, and overall value outweighs these minor drawbacks. Many appreciate the additional content added in the Royal edition.

    Persona 5 is by far the most popular release in the Shin Megami Tensei series - and for good reason. The beautiful game design, rich characters, and fun RPG mechanics keep fans like myself coming back. Slick steelbook issued with this switch release.

    Deliberately sold defective items

    The game itself is good, but Bestbuy deliberately sold defective items. My box is destructive and they used tape to fix it, pretending nothing happened. I am really confused about whether it is responsible.

    A refinement and excellent entry in one of the best JRPG franchises out there. Unfortunately the performance on Switch is not ideal, locked 30 fps but rather low resolution in 3D render, however it's still very playable and a wonderful portable experience.

    This is the second Persona game I've played. The game world and story are interesting. The game pulled me into its world to the point that I try not to play unless I have at least two or three hours free. There are elements of grinding that can be annoying and repetitive. But, this is a minor annoyance. Get frustrated or stuck in the main game? No problem, you can unlock a card game to play with the game characters to unwind.

    Even Better as a Handheld!

    Fantastic JRPG, especially as a handheld! Awesome story, visuals, and really great characters that develop over time. Can be a bit of a grind sometimes, but that’s to be expected with RPGs, and these don’t detract from the overall experience. Each of the Persona titles are standalone stories, so you don’t need to have played the others to enjoy this great entry.

    After initially playing P5R through Game Pass, I decided I wanted a portable version for on the go. While it runs @ 30FPS and the handheld mode has this weird blur, it hasn't stopped my enjoyment.

    Persona 5 Royal on Switch says it all

    I’ve already played P5 both in its original version and Royal version on the PS4. Needless to say, I loved the game — the Royal version infinitely more with all of its quality of life upgrades, amazing new characters, and the additional 3rd semester storyline. The only thing that was missing was the ability to play this on a handheld system… This is easily one of the best JRPGs I’ve ever played with an endearing cast of characters, social sim bonding, slice of life moments, epic story, snappy and strategic combat, varied dungeons, and stellar jazz-inspired soundtrack. And now it’s available with all the DLC complete on the cartridge, no additional patches or downloads required, on the Switch where we can play it portable. Couldn’t ask for more!

    Great game that is great to play on Switch. I played P5 on PS4, but replayed it on switch with Royal and was totally worth it. It did mean a month of my life was engrossed into the game, but it was nice being able to play anywhere vs my ps4 play when P5 original first came out. Royal added a lot of QoL and content to P5.

    Got it super fast very fun! Switch graphics are a little rough but i love having it on the go! If you don't mind 30fps this is a good time looks better than the ps3 edition. Very happy this was half off!

    It seemed like Persona would never come to Switch but finally it makes it and this awesome game came to cartridge. Its a flawless port of one of the best JRPG games and series out there. Got it for B-Friday price so can't go wrong getting this on physical for $30.
