Sega and Atlus are pretty proud of their Persona series of games. Why wouldn’t they? This series has been consistently garnering positive critical responses and financial success for years now. In-depth characters and a very detailed world are some of the selling points of this series.
Amidst the recent culture of remakes, it appears Atlus and Sega could not resist remaking one of the darkest games in this series, Persona 3. And around a week after its official announcement, it appears this game is all set to launch on one more platform!
Persona 3 Reload adds the Nintendo Switch to its list of platforms!

Persona 3 Portable Remastered was released universally on pretty much every platform out there. The game was fun enough to play, and it was priced reasonably. But there was one fault with that version of Persona 3, the problem being that it was a port of the PlayStation Portable version of the original Persona 3.
The PSP version of Persona 3 had the subtitle “Portable, and it was released without a number of features the original had. And that lack of features was okay for the PSP, as it made sense to cut features for an underpowered console, but it did not make sense when this game launched for consoles like the PlayStation 5.

Hence, Atlus and Sega decided to give fans what they wanted: a real, complete remake. That’s where the recently announced Reload version comes in. This version is completely remade in Unreal Engine 5 and was announced during the recent Xbox Games Showcase.

One thing that they skimmed on, though, was that alongside the usual platforms such as Xbox consoles, PCs, and PlayStation consoles, this game might also be coming to the Nintendo Switch. This was later revealed in the updated trailer for this game and then removed from the description. This might mean it would come to this console at a later date.
A big win for Nintendo Switch and Game Pass users
This game coming to the Nintendo Switch at this point in the life of this console is somewhat of a miracle. It’s running on Unreal Engine 5, and it would probably be a big deal for it to run that game flawlessly. Here’s hoping it does, though.

On the other hand, this game is also making its way to Game Pass Day 1. This would be great news for all Persona fans, giving them a chance to experience pretty much all modern games at once.
