Persona 4 Golden is the PC port of the detective/mystery JRPG game of the same name for PlayStation Vita from 2012, itself a remaster of the original Persona 4 released in 2008 for Playstation 2. While the PlayStation Vita version expanded upon the original PlayStation 2 title with new features, story elements, characters, spoken lines, anime cutscenes, and more, the PC version adds the ability to choose between English and Japanese voice acting, and focuses on improving the technical state of the game and features enhanced graphics, upscaled cinematics, and support for an uncapped variable framerate.[1][2] The development of the PC port was led by Atlus with assistance from Preapp Partners.[3]
The game was released on Steam on June 13, 2020 following a surprise announcement on the PC Gaming Show the same day.[4] In a port analysis posted on IGN and written by guest writer and modder Peter "Durante" Thoman of PH3 Games, he described the version as "a fantastic way to play [the] game, with solid graphics options, arbitrary resolution and framerate support, relatively fast loading times, and good support for remappable keyboard controls," and went on to mention that "even the minor online aspects of the 'Golden' version were faithfully ported."[5]
A major update to the Steam version was released on January 19, 2023, featuring technical and quality of life improvements, to bring it to parity with the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and the Microsoft Store versions, released on the same day.[6] The existence of an update was previously leaked on November 1, 2022 when a development branch on Steam was inadvertently not password protected, giving players an impression of what to expect.[7]
