Persona 5 Royal is a JRPG in the Persona series developed by Atlus and published by SEGA. It is a port of the 2019 PlayStation 4 game of the same name, which itself is an enhanced re-release of the 2016 game Persona 5. Development of the 2022 release was handled by a team at SEGA.[1]

The game was released on October 21, 2022 on the Microsoft Store and Steam, following an announcement during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase in June 2022.[2] This version includes the majority of the downloadable content that was included in the original PlayStation 4 release[3] and has support for frame rates up to 120 FPS and 4K displays.

Persona 5 Royal received overwhelming praise from critics upon release, with the only notable sore point with the PC version being the limited set of graphics options on offer.[4]

Issues unresolved

Game crashes when trying to save system data when run using Proton

At present, running the game in a Linux environment using Proton may leave the game unable to create the initial system data on first launch, leading to crashing and rendering the game unable to be played.[12]
This issue does not occur on Steam Deck.
Open Steam with the -steamdeck flag.[13]
Use GE-Proton7-38 or later which fixes the save file issue.[14]
  1. Download GE-Proton7-38 or later.
  2. Extract to <Steam-folder>/compatibilitytools.d/.
  3. Exit and restart Steam if already running.
  4. Right click on Persona 5 Royal in your Steam Library and choose Properties.
  5. Choose Compatibility and select Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool.
  6. From the dropdown, select the version of GE-Proton that you downloaded in Step 1.
  7. Run the game and saving should now work.
Alternatively, you can use ProtonUp-Qt to download and install the latest version of GE-Proton. Then follow the above steps starting from Step 3.

Shadow quality resets to Middle after every loading screen

Currently, whenever the player goes through a loading screen or battle transition, the shadow quality will default to Middle. It will still show up as whatever was set up before in the graphic settings screen; however, the in-game shadows will behave as if the Middle setting was chosen.
A temporary fix consists of going into the graphic settings and changing the shadow quality to anything, and then back to the desired quality, but the issue will repeat itself again on the next loading screen/transition.[15]

Issues fixed

Game won't progress to main menu if you have a non-ASCII character in your Windows profile

Enable Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support.[16]
  1. Go to Control Panel.
  2. Click on "Change date, time, or number formats".
  3. Switch to the "Administrative" tab.
  4. Click on "Change system locale...".
  5. Check "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support".
  6. Press OK and allow Windows to restart your system.

Game is blurry when using a resolution scale above 100%

Change the Windows DPI scaling settings for P5R.exe[17]
This method might not work with the Microsoft Store version if you didn't install the game in a custom folder.[citation needed]
  1. Open the game's installation folder in Windows Explorer.
  2. Right click on P5R.exe and select Properties.
  3. Select the tab labelled Compatibility.
  4. Click on the option labelled Change high DPI settings.
  5. Toggle the checkbox for High DPI scaling override to enabled and select Application in the list box.
  6. Apply the changed settings for the exectuable.
Install and run Special K alongside the game

    "Shinji Yamamoto (Atlus producer on P5R Remaster): 'We've made some very detailed adjustments. We optimized the number of the pieces of debris that blow away for each model. Elements like effects, number of projectiles, etc.

    Sega was in charge of the development of the remaster (not just matching the resolution to the console). It was a very meaningful project. Multi-platform development isn't easy. This was my fist porting project, and I didn't realize how hard it would be.'

    Tested using a DualSense controller, no input was detected by the Steam version using DSX to emulate a Xbox 360 controller or a DualShock 4 or by trying to use it natively. Enabling Steam Input was the only solution.
  10. Verified by User:Shadowstealer7 on 2022-10-21
    DualSense works without any emulation software on this version, but uses the Xbox bindings rather than the control scheme for that controller present on console and Steam versions.
