Persona 5 Tactica releases later this week, here's when you'll be able to check out the latest Persona 5 spinoff.
Persona 5 (and its expanded re-release Persona 5 Royal) are among the highest-rated RPGs ever made. And while the mainline entries are one-and-done experiences with a new cast each time, thankfully, there are spinoff titles that bring the beloved Persona 5 cast back to the limelight. The newest one, Persona 5 Tactica, launches this week and brings the mechanics and cast of Persona 5 to the Tactical RPG genre.
The game is launching on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with the latter three getting the game as a day-one release on Xbox Game Pass. While my review of the game for Mirror Gaming isn't ready just yet (look forward to that on the site soon!) so far I'd recommend Persona 5 Tactica to any fans of the original game.
Persona 5 Tactica release time – PC (Steam)
The Persona 5 Tactica release time on PC (via Steam) is set for 5am GMT and 12am EST on Friday, November 17, or 9pm PST on Thursday, November 16.
PC players who have purchased the game on Steam are subject to a simultaneous global launch. While this is good news for players on the west coast of the US who will get to start playing a bit before the game's November 17 release date, it's bad news for UK players who will have to wait until 5am.
Why Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's six week delay is a good thing
Persona 5 Tactica release time – PS5 and PS4
The Persona 5 Tactica release time on PlayStation is 12am local time in all regions apart from the US, which will set the Persona 5 Tactica PlayStation release time as 12am EST on Friday, November 17, or 9pm PST on Thursday, November 17.
According to the PlayStation Store page, the Persona 5 Tactica release is taking place at 12am local time in all regions. While this hasn't been confirmed directly, the PlayStation Store page for the US implies it will be released at 12am EST regardless of where in the US you reside.
Persona 5 Tactica release time – Xbox and Xbox Game Pass
The Persona 5 Tactica release time on Xbox and PC (via the Xbox Game Pass app) is 12am local time in all regions. Based on past midnight releases on this console platform, the US should see the Persona 5 Tactica Xbox release happen at 12am EST on Friday, November 17,or9pm PST onThursday, November 16.
Persona 5 Tactica release time – Nintendo Switch
We expect the Persona 5 Tactica Nintendo Switch release time to be at 12am GMT / 12am EST on Friday, November 17, or 9pm PST on Thursday, November 16. This matches other similar Nintendo releases, and other console editions are available at 12am local time, so we'd assume the same would be the case for the Switch.
