After a long, anticipated wait, Xbox Game Pass adds Persona 5 Royal to its library. This corresponds with its launch on fellow platforms PC and Switch, with Game Pass offering it for fans on PC, Cloud, and Consoles. As many know, Persona 5 catapulted the already popular franchise into the stars, with the game receiving universal acclaim when it launched on PS4.

Fewer reviews are currently in for Xbox consoles, perhaps because of how long it takes to beat Persona 5 Royal, but the title currently has the exact same Metacritic score online. In other words, it seems the ports were properly done, and Xbox fans can currently check out one of the highest-rated JRPGs on the market.

Persona 5 is a social JRPG taking place in modern-day Tokyo, with players taking on the character of Joker. Throughout the school year, he and his friends become the Phantom Thieves who must dive into the Metaverse. This story is developed through various RPG features, dungeon-crawling elements, and social simulation scenarios. Persona 5 Royal adds a lot of new content on top of the base game, including new party members, a new school semester, a new palace, the Thieves Den, new cutscenes, new Personas, new weapons, two new story endings, and much more.
