Persona 5 Royal is a JRPG in the Persona series developed by Atlus and published by Sega. It is a port of the 2019 PlayStation 4 game of the same name, which itself is an enhanced re-release of the 2016 game Persona 5. Development of the 2022 release was handled by a team at Sega.[1]
The game was released on October 21, 2022 on the Microsoft Store and Steam, following an announcement during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase in June 2022.[2] This version includes the majority of the downloadable content that was included in the original PlayStation 4 release[3] and has support for frame rates up to 120 FPS and 4K displays.
Persona 5 Royal received overwhelming praise from critics upon release, with the only notable sore point with the PC version being the limited set of graphics options on offer.[4]

Shadow quality resets to Medium after every loading screen
- Whenever the player goes through a loading screen or battle transition, the shadow quality will reset to Medium. It will still show up as whatever was set up before in the graphics settings screen; however, the in-game shadows will behave as if the Medium setting was chosen.
| (Temporary) Change the Shadow Quality setting to anything and then back to the desired quality after any loading screen/battle transition.[10] |
|---|
| (Permanent) Install the Fix Shadow Settings mod to fix the shadow settings. |

- At present, running the game in a Linux environment using Proton may leave the game unable to create the initial system data on first launch, leading to crashing and rendering the game unable to be played.[14]
- This issue does not occur on Steam Deck.
Open Steam with the -steamdeck flag.[15]

Sega was in charge of the development of the remaster (not just matching the resolution to the console). It was a very meaningful project. Multi-platform development isn't easy. This was my fist porting project, and I didn't realize how hard it would be.'"

- Tested using a DualSense controller, no input was detected by the Steam version using DSX to emulate a Xbox 360 controller or a DualShock 4 or by trying to use it natively. Enabling Steam Input was the only solution.

- DualSense works without any emulation software on this version, but uses the Xbox bindings rather than the control scheme for that controller present on console and Steam versions.
