In recent years, no JRPG has been bigger than Persona and in fact it is considered a before and after for the history of the genre since surveys confirm that new generations feel more attached to this franchise than to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. The IP of ATLUS is one of the jewels of Japan and of course it is a reason for desire for the companies that own platforms like Microsoft that would have it in the sights so that the next installment debuts on Xbox.
MICROSOFT WOULD BE NEGOTIATING THE LAUNCH OF PERSONA 6 ON DAY 1 FOR XBOX
According to a report by the renowned insider of the Microsoft video game brand, Shpeshal Nick on the Xbox Era podcast (via Idle Sloth on Twitter), he has information that allows him to reveal that the North American company is trying to finalize the launch of Persona 6 on Xbox on day 1. The Persona franchise has been linked in consoles with the PlayStation brand since the era of the PS2, in the end Japanese products, but before the new relations between Microsoft and Japan that Phil Spencer is weaving, there could be a scenario in which the next and expected delivery has simultaneous debut on the Xbox Series X | S consoles.
WILL PERSONA 6 BE COMING TO XBOX GAME PASS ON DAY 1?
Now, the million-dollar question is, would Persona 6 also come to Xbox Game Pass on Day 1? According to insider Shpeshal Nick, there are no details about it so he can't consider that possibility. However, recent events allow us to play with it and is that Xbox has made an important effort so that the Persona saga not only reaches its platform after years on PlayStation, it also aims to make its deliveries available in the successful service.
In this regard, it would not be strange for Microsoft to bet on a launch on day 1 of Persona 6 on Xbox Game Pass now that the brand has improved relations in Japanese territory and apparently the companies of that country are interested in the diffusion that they can have in the West through the service sector, just as happened with Yakuza and the renewed interest of Square Enix to make new deals with the American company.
On the other hand, rumors in recent months have indicated that Persona 6 could be a temporary exclusive of PlayStation 5 but in any case Microsoft and Xbox could negotiate a better deal to prevent that from happening in addition to that in their favor they have the checkered antecedent of Final Fantasy XVI.
