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]

Featured websites

GameBanana - Hosts a large number of user-created mods for Persona 4 Golden.

Featured mods

Both of the below mods are included in the above Community Pack.

Tiny Fixes - Various small bugfixes
No TV Static - Removes the TV static effect from the game, making it more streamer friendly

Using PlayStation Vita save files

Error game displays when loading Vita version save file for the first time.

As the game save data is identical with Vita version of the game, it is possible to copy games save file and use it with PC version of the game with very little work.

This requires a modded Vita in order to decrypt and transfer the save game data to PC!

Transfer save file from Vita to Steam^[15]

Start the game and create new save files on same slots that are going to be copied from the PlayStation Vita later.
On Vita, open Vitashell, navigate to UX0:user/00/savedata/
Go over folder with games ID (US: PCSE00120, EU: PCSB00245, JP: PCSG00563), hit triangle button and select option open decrypted.
Press select to open FTP server or USB transfer and copy the files from the previous path to the computer.
Navigate into save game data folder and transfer the copied files from Vita into the folder, overwriting the previously made new save files.
Generate MD5 hash of dataXXXX.bin, then open corresponding dataXXXX.binslot in hex editor. Replace the address from 0x18 to 0x27 with generated MD5 hash. (Example, source.)
Open the game and load up the save game file. The information on the save file will be the same as initially saved on PC and there will be a warning window after trying to load the game save file (see image on right). Click OK on warning and Vita game save file should be loaded. Save the game to fix the information of the game save slot.

Notes

Fixing the binslot checksum also allows PC save data that has been edited with tools designed for PS Vita save data to work (no Vita required).

If there are issues with generating the MD5 and hex editing files, see this Python program for a command-line utility to automatically apply the necessary changes to binslot files.
