While Atlus fans are still waiting on an actual announcement, leakers are currently claiming that Persona 6 will launch across multiple platforms.
Earlier this week, industry insider and leaker Nate the Hate made the claim that Persona 6 will be on Xbox whenever it does launch. “From information I’ve heard, it does seem that Persona 6 will be coming to the Xbox,” Nate the Hate said during an episode of the DirectXbox podcast from Spawncast. “I’m not 100% sure if it’s, like, day-and-date with the PlayStation version, but considering the way the Persona games have been day-and-date with the multiplatform releases at this point, it may be a safe assumption to make that Persona 6 will be day-and-date Xbox and PlayStation. It would be a really big deal if Microsoft was able to secure that on Game Pass.”
At first glance, this might not be a big deal considering Persona 3 Reload just launched last month, and it was available across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. An important thing to point out there though is that this is quite new for Atlus; Persona 5 originally launched on just PS3 and PS4 back in 2016, and didn’t actually make its way to Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox until 2022, a whole six years later. Meaning, Persona 6 launching on Xbox would be quite a big deal. With Persona 3 Reload also releasing on Game Pass day one, it wouldn’t be overly surprising if 6 did launch on Xbox.
