The digital PlayStation versions ofPersona 5 Royalhaven’t yet joined this multi-platform sale, as both the PS4 and PS5 ports of the game are currently listed at full price on the PS Store. And whilePersona 5 Royalspent two and a half years as a PS4 exclusive, its lowest-ever price on Sony’s console(s) still never dropped below $35.99. That said, the physical Standard Edition of the game for the PS5 is currently available at 43% off on Amazon.
Overall, almost everyone now has a great chance to see what all the fuss is about and play one of the best JRPGs of all time for its lowest-ever price on their platform of choice. Xbox and PC gamers might want to take particular note of these newly introduced deals, asPersona 5 Royaljust left Xbox Game Passin October.
