Persona 5 The Phantom X on PS5: Will it come to the platform?
Persona 5 The Phantom X launched worldwide in June 2025, quickly grabbing the attention of fans who play on PlayStation. But can you experience this stylish gacha RPG on PS5 or other consoles? Here’s the latest, based on official statements and community tracking.
Available Platforms for Persona 5 The Phantom X
As of October 2025, Persona 5 The Phantom X is officially available on:
- PC (Steam)
- iOS (App Store)
- Android (Google Play)
There is no PS5 version currently available for the game. Players hoping for a PlayStation release must wait, as the launch skipped over consoles to focus on mobile and PC audiences (PushSquare news, Game8 Console Guide, Wikipedia).
PC users can grab the game directly from Steam and benefit from robust keyboard/mouse controls and mod support (LagoFast platform roundup).
Is a PS5 (or console) Release Planned?
While speculation about console versions has circulated since early 2024, no official console release has been announced. Atlus and Sega have responded in livestreams and news drops confirming:
- There are no current plans for PS5, PS4, or Nintendo Switch versions as of the worldwide release.
- A console port is a possibility for the future, but no timeline has been given (Reddit console discussion, Persona Central future plans, YouTube console update).
The developers indicated last year that a console conversion “is in the works,” but recent worldwide launches did not include platforms beyond PC and mobile. This means PlayStation fans will need to keep a close watch on official news for any updates (PushSquare).
Why is Persona 5 The Phantom X Skipping PS5?
The decision is mainly due to the game’s design as a mobile-first, gacha RPG with always-online features, microtransactions, and seasonal live-service events. These elements suit mobile and desktop, but would require adaptation for console play (Polygon Release Guide). Atlus, Sega, and Perfect World are watching market interest and may consider porting depending on demand.
Should You Wait for a Console Version?
If you prefer PlayStation or Switch, the safest bet is to enjoy Persona 5 The Phantom X on PC for now (especially if you own a Steam Deck) and monitor Persona5X.com and official Twitter announcements for future news.
Persona 5 The Phantom X is a vibrant addition to the Persona universe, but for now, PlayStation fans will need to be patient. There are no confirmed plans for PS5 or console versions, though ongoing community requests mean a port could still happen.
