The latest Persona 6 rumour says it will launch for Xbox after all, but there’s no mention of it being added to Game Pass straight away.

While Persona fans have the Persona 3 remake and a new Persona 5 spin-off to look forward to, Atlus has remained silent about the inevitable Persona 6.

The only info fans really have to go on are rumours of a 2024 announcement and that it will launch as a timed PlayStation 5 exclusive.

Another rumour, however, contradicts the latter, as it’s instead claimed that Persona 6 will be available on Xbox from day one.

This comes courtesy of XboxEra’s Nick ‘Shpeshal’ Baker, a frequent source of Xbox rumours, having been among the first to allege that Microsoft was trying to get the Persona series on Xbox Game Pass – a detail that was corroborated over a year later.

Baker’s anonymous source doesn’t mention anything about a release date for Persona 6, nor whether it will be available on Game Pass at launch. You can hear his claims in the video below from the 1:31:42 mark.

Given how the Persona series has been heavily associated with the PlayStation platform for years, it’s easy to assume that Persona 6 will at least be a temporary exclusive, much like how the previous mainline games were.

However, Atlus and Sega have made an active effort to bring the series to other platforms lately. Aside from ports of the older games, Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactica are slated to launch across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Plus, with both titles being announced at an Xbox showcase, and slated to appear on Game Pass, it seems impossible to imagine that the question of Persona 6 didn’t at least come up, in regards to if and when it will appear on Xbox formats.
