The demo for Persona 3 Reload is now available on Nintendo Switch 2, offering players a first look at how the remake performs on the latest Nintendo hardware. The Switch 2 version largely mirrors the PlayStation 4 release, running at an internal resolution of 1080p and targeting 30 frames per second. While the console benefits from 4K output, enhancing visual clarity, the overall image quality is largely comparable to the PS4 experience. Some fans, however, might feel the Switch 2 version falls slightly short of expectations.
For players seeking a broader comparison, the remake’s performance across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles presents additional insights. Persona 3 Reload maintains a single graphics mode on these platforms. Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions feature ray-traced reflections, although coverage is limited, supplemented by screen space reflections and planar reflections in certain areas. Aside from minor lighting variations, the game looks almost identical on these two consoles. The Xbox Series S, by contrast, lacks ray-traced reflections and uses lower-resolution shadows, running at a native 1080p resolution.
Across all platforms, Persona 3 Reload targets a smooth 60 frames per second during gameplay. Most versions consistently meet this target, although the Xbox Series X may drop below 60 fps in areas with extensive ray-traced reflections, such as the in-game mall. Cutscenes, meanwhile, are capped at 30 fps across all consoles. None of the console versions appear to use anti-aliasing, leaving edges slightly jagged in some scenes.
Persona 3 Reload is a 2024 role-playing video game developed and published by Atlus. It is a remake of the 2006 original Persona 3, which is part of the larger Megami Tensei franchise. The story follows a high school student who, returning to his hometown after the death of his parents, gains the ability to summon a Persona and joins the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (S.E.E.S.). Together, they battle Shadows and uncover the mysteries of the Dark Hour.
Persona 3 Reload was released on February 2, 2024, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The Nintendo Switch 2 version is scheduled for release on October 23, 2025.
