Persona 5: The Phantom X is finally here, bringing a bold new spin on the beloved JRPG to PC and mobile. With a fresh cast, slick style, and the same turn-based combat fans love, this free-to-play follow-up aims to capture the heart of a whole new audience.
The Phantom Returns on a Global Stage
June 26 marks the worldwide release of Persona 5: The Phantom X (P5X), the brand-new free-to-play RPG developed by Perfect World Games with supervision from Atlus and SEGA. The game is available now on PC via Steam and Android, with an iOS version set to arrive in select regions on July 3.
Set in an alternate version of Tokyo, P5X introduces a new protagonist and Phantom Thieves team, while retaining the stylish flair, turn-based combat, and social sim elements that made the original Persona 5 a modern classic.
What to Expect in P5X
Players will dive into daily school life during the day and shift into dungeon crawling and Persona battles by night. Expect to manage part-time jobs, build friendships, join clubs, and balance everyday life with uncovering the mysteries of the Metaverse.
Combat returns in familiar turn-based form, complete with Persona summoning, elemental matchups, and cinematic finishers. A new Velvet Trials PvE mode and a full guild system add multiplayer layers to the experience.
The game also supports cross-progression, meaning you can start your adventure on mobile and pick it up later on PC.
Big Collaboration, Bigger Expectations
Character designs are once again led by Persona series artist Shigenori Soejima, with the game built using stylish 3D assets that match the quality fans expect. While P5X includes gacha elements for acquiring Personas and characters, it promises a full narrative experience without needing to spend a dime.
