![]() ![]() If it wasn't for the end of the trailer popping up and informing us that this game is being made for the PS5, you would have assumed this was just the PS4 trailer you had stumbled upon. While exciting - because who doesn't love the Persona series? - it is a little strange to not try and show off the new features that will be coming to another re-release/remaster of a game that has already quite recently received the enhanced and extended cut. This should have been a free PS5 patch upgrade, it’s that simple.The new Persona 5 Royal trailer doesn't outline the improvements implementedThe recently unveiled trailer from Atlus tells us virtually nothing about this remaster of P5R that is coming to PS5 in October. For everyone else that has already sampled the delights of the game on PS4 and PS4 Pro, Persona 5 Royal not only doesn’t offer enough to make the leap worthwhile but the lack of charitable continuity when it comes to save files and cross-gen upgrades makes it that much more challenging to provide a reason for its existence in the first place. If you’ve absolutely never played Persona 5 before than that person would be you, although there is a compelling argument for just buying the PS4 version at a cheaper price anyway. It sucks, quite frankly.įurther Reading – All PS4 Games That Have Free PS5 Upgrades In 2022 – Next Gen Upgrades At No Extra CostĬertainly it’s difficult to make a strong argument for exactly whom should be buying Persona 5 Royal on PS5. Ultimately a wasted opportunity to make the most of Persona 5 Royal on Sony’s still hugely capable current generation console hardware, Persona 5 Royal on PS5 feels like a cash grab at its most cynical, as Atlus are selling what is a near three year old game at full price once again with no real improvements or additional content to speak of. This is the definitive console version of Persona 5 Royal for sure but only by the smallest margin imaginable. With its abundance of unique style, superbly written characters and immersive narrative that meditates on such thing as emancipation from the limitations of society, Persona 5 Royal is absolutely smashing stuff and you can catch our original review of Persona 5 Royal on PS4 right here to see how much we enjoyed it. Persona 5 Royal on PS5 represents such a missed opportunity it hurts.įurther Reading – Best PS5 JRPG Games RankedĪgain, there’s no denying that Persona 5 Royal is undoubtedly one of the best JRPGs of the last decade. Not only does a lack of free upgrade rankle duly, so too does the inability to carry over your save to the PS5 version of Persona 5 Royal, further compounding this whole unsavoury situation further still. ![]() ![]() Given the gargantuan, galaxy-swallowing amount of nothing that Atlus has added to this release, being asked to pay premium bucks *again* for what is the same game in essentially every single way except for a smoother framerate is a massive middle finger to the entire fanbase – and a kick in the balls of your wallet to boot. There is no free PS5 upgrade for owners of Persona 5 Royal on PS4. Perhaps even more gallingly, PS4 owners who would want to make the leap to the PS5 version of Persona 5 Royal to enjoy this most incremental upgrades will have to pay to do so. ![]()
