Persona 3 Reload, a remake of Atlus’s classic JRPG, was launched on the Nintendo Switch 2 on October 23, 2025, following its early 2024 release on other platforms. The game is also available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X. It will be succeeded by a remake of Persona 4 Golden, which currently does not have a confirmed release window but is expected to target the same platforms.
Considering our initial review of Persona 3 Reload noted some frame rate issues, it is great to see that Atlus has listened to fans’ demands and addressed this issue with a new patch.
