Over here at Pocket Tactics, we love a bit of Atlus. So, we've collected all the Persona games on Switch, mobile, and handheld devices available for you to get into - we recommend all of them, honestly, but some of them aren't just RPGs, so they may not fit your play style. Now, if only the two dance games would come to Nintendo Switch, we'd have a full range.
If you want to get into more of the Persona 5 world, then brush up on your knowledge of all the Persona 5 The Phantom X characters. While you're at it, check out these Persona 5 wallpapers to snazz up your devices.
Here are all the Persona games on Switch and mobile:
Persona 5 Royal
We're not kidding when we say that Persona 5 Royal is one of the best games ever made. Everyone on the team has played it - more than once in most cases - and agrees it's fantastic.
It's a huge RPG that introduces the Phantom Thieves - a group of high schoolers on a mission to save the world. You follow their journey through Tokyo and the metaverse's increasingly difficult levels to fix people's distorted desires, take down formidable bosses, and collect Personas along the way.
The characters are lovable, the areas to explore are brimming with things to do, the soundtrack absolutely slaps, and even the everyday minigames are enjoyable. Best of all, the Switch port runs astoundingly well, so there's no excuse not to pick it up. Want to know more about the game? Here's our Persona 5 Switch review, all the Persona 5 characters, and a list of the Persona 5 answers if you get stuck in school.
Persona 3 Reload
We all know Atlus loves a good remake, but the studio really pulled out all the stops with Persona 3 Reload. It runs excellently on Steam Deck as a fully verified game, and comes with new content that wasn't in the original Persona 3 or Portable. It also runs very well on the Nintendo Switch 2, as we said in our Persona 3 Reload review - but we expected nothing less after the Persona 5 port.
Persona 3 sees you start a new term as a student entering Gekkoukan High School, where you quickly meet friends who turn into accomplices in the dungeons you fight through.
It has a bit of a different formula from the Persona 5 era of games, in that it doesn't have palaces, just levels of Tartarus to battle through. The school- and social-based quests, jobs, minigames, and meetings are as whimsical as ever, making it a classic Persona tale. The vibrant cast of voice actors really brings it to life, as well.
Persona 5 Strikers
Strikers is a canonical sequel to Persona 5, but with a very different gameplay style. Made by Atlus and Koei Tecmo, the game has more of a musou feel to it, with a good story woven throughout. This means that your battles aren't turn-based - you take on waves of enemies that swarm around you, but can pop off moves between characters and get extra damage.
The gang is off on their summer holidays around Japan, but run into trouble in the shape of jails, where you must thwart bosses and minions alike, once again defeating corrupt souls. We've got a Persona 5 Strikers review if you'd like to know more.
Persona 5 Tactica
The beloved Phantom Thieves of Hearts are back, once again, on the Nintendo Switch in Tactica. We have a Persona 5 Tactica review here for a full look at the game. As the name suggests, Persona 5 Tactica is a tactics-based game and has a very cartoony aesthetic reminiscent of Persona Q2.
Playing as Joker, Ann, Yusuke, and co, you meet newcomer Erina, with some other new characters sprinkled in. Together, you work through stages with your chosen team and strategically take down opponents - or avoid them - to reach the goal. On top of the new story to immerse yourself in, there are some quite challenging levels to test your tactical ability.
Persona 4 Golden
Persona 4 Golden, the enhanced version of Persona 4, came to Switch in 2023 alongside Persona 3 Portable. This allows a lot more of you to experience one of the older - but still absolutely fantastic - Persona games featuring another teen protagonist and his merry group of friends.
Unlike Persona 5, you don't have a cat following you around, but you do meet Teddy the mascot in the metaverse, who aids you on your journey. The port runs perfectly on the Switch and brings new life into the game as we adventure through Inaba. Check out our Persona 4 Golden review here.
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
Strangely, this was one of the first Persona games to release on Switch, despite it being a spin-off to the main series and having nothing to do with the 'current' generation of Persona characters. Arena Ultimax features the cast of Persona 3 and 4, along with the DLC released for the title. But what is it?
It's actually a fighting game where you take on other characters and shadows, and you can play a story mode too. No matter what style of games you like, if you're a Persona fan, there's something for you. By the way, this game has Persona 4 Arena and Arena Ultimax's stories in it, so you're in for a good time heading back to the Midnight Channel.
Persona 5: The Phantom X - mobile
For a perhaps even more portable Persona experience, you can jump into Persona 5 X. This features a new cast of characters - though you can get Joker and the gang by pulling on in-game banners - as they take on more metaverse troubles. It's set in the same city as Persona 5, though it has new enemies to fight, and plenty of fresh shadows to turn into your own usable allies.
And that's all the Persona games you can currently get on the Switch. For more gaming goodness, check out some of Hoyoverse's titles with these Genshin Impact codes and Honkai Star Rail codes, or take a look at our picks of the best mobile games.
