[NateDrake/Nate The Hate] It seems Persona 6 is coming to Xbox [Midori] Correct, also Switch 2
- Thread starter Vigilante Joker
- Start date
Atlus has pretty clearly moved to multiplatform releases day-and-date, as evidenced by games likes P3 Reload, SMTV Vengeance, and Metaphor.
I wouldn't be surprised if maybe they held back the Switch 2 version, but honestly if they want the P6 release to be as big a global pop culture moment as possible — and I think they do, after the massive success of P5 — they should be on Switch 2 day one.

Well maybe don't buy a console when you don't know what platforms the game you want will even be on....
buying a console for an unannounced game is a gamble and a half dawg
In my defense this was before everyone started porting everything everywhere.
I'm confused? They're not saying that it's not coming to PS5. It's not, like, an Xbox/Switch 2 exclusive, or anything.
She also confirmed that P3R is coming to the Switch 2

I kinda had zero doubt this would happen. Sony really doesn't have the leverage to moneyhat P6 after the success of the other ports, and Sega has smelled blood in the water re: PC versions for a while now. Getting it on Switch 2 at launch (and not a late port) will only help it sell even more in Japan.

I think they mean P3R will be coming for Switch sooner than anticipated; probably at or near launch.
If you were going to buy it only for that game then should've bought after it was confirmed that P6 was only coming to PS5 tbh..
A Console for one game is a big investment afterall.
A contract thing prevented it from being day and date, for now.
The Xbox move was recent, Switch 2 could be day 1 in Japan.

The writing was on the wall even by the time the PS5 came out. Persona 5 Strikers was on the Switch in Japan by then. Persona 4 Golden had been ported to PC.
Once Atlus and SEGA got a taste of that multiplatform money, it was inevitable.
4 platforms? Bold of you to assume it's not also releasing on PS4, lol
At this point I just want to see what the game looks like. I imagine they are waiting for Metaphor and SMTV Vengeance to release before starting up the marketing cycle, though. It's been so long since P5 released that the idea of a new mainline Persona game with a new style, cast, gameplay etc. is so weird to think about. Also really curious who the staff is on it.
Multi-platform is undoubtedly good for Atlus in terms of sales (and maaaaaybe is part of why P6 reveal is taking so long), but I'm more curious as to when a potential reveal even is, at this point.
IF (and that's a big if) it was delayed from being shown at the Feb 2024 25th anniversary concert, I would assume there's still a ways to go.
Thus, I would think it...unlikely they cut Re:Fantasio's hype out from under it before that game releases (even though Atlus has done weirder things), so in that case, the first look wouldn't be until Winter 2024 or Jan-Feb 2025, with a late 2025-early 2026 release date?
That's....a long time, even though as a persona fan I'm used to it after the gap of P4 --> P5 :(

ngl having it on everything day 1 is gonna make the series even bigger, don't doubt it's gonna surpass FF this generation
Yeah, I've been assuming 2025 for a while. I'm just anxious to get a first glimpse at it.
Also wonder what animal they're gonna make the mascot. My guess is a rabbit.

What do you mean nobody really cared? Persona multiplatform sales numbers have been really, really great for Atlus, so much so that they're changing from being one of, if not the most stubborn and old-fashioned developers to now releasing everything multiplatform in record time. Also, it's disingenious to equate a mainline and brand new Persona game to old ports, a remake and Re:Fantazio, lmao.
Easily, especially if it catches the Steam zeitgiest when it launches there.
Even if you were rooting for exclusivity, this is a positive move. It also means Altus are updating their tools, easier to scale the games, could mean faster development for next gen consoles. I don't like when they release their games late in a console's life and get stuck for a while in old gen hardware.
Never "invest" in a console until it has the games you actually want to play the moment you unbox that shit.
It'll also prob save you some money.
Square is going to get left in the dust with their years late PC ports. Every other Japanese third party is embarrassing them.
Parody post or…?
This is great news for the franchise, I wonder if this will finally break huge for Sega!
