Sega and Atlus announced Persona 6 during the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 livestream on June 8, 2026. The reveal came in the form of a brief teaser trailer with no gameplay or release date shown. The game is confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. The announcement was part of a larger broadcast that also included a new limited edition Xbox Series X console. Microsoft revealed the Xbox Series X 25th Anniversary Special Edition, a green translucent console with an engraved "XBOX 25" logo, scheduled for November 2026. A matching Xbox Wireless Controller 25th Anniversary Edition will launch in October 2026. The controller and console incorporate design elements from across Xbox's 25-year history. Sales in Japan have not been confirmed for the limited edition hardware.
The Xbox Games Showcase 2026, which aired starting at 2:00 JST on June 8, was the venue for Atlus's Persona 6 reveal. The trailer was described by Game Spark as a mysterious video that offered no details on story, characters, or a release window. 4Gamer.net confirmed the platforms as Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC (Steam), matching the multiplatform approach Atlus took with Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: ReFantazio. The showcase also featured Microsoft's hardware announcements: the Xbox Series X 25th Anniversary Special Edition, a translucent green console with a carved "XBOX 25" logo, launching in November 2026, and the Xbox Wireless Controller 25th Anniversary Edition arriving in October. GAME Watch noted that the limited edition console's Japanese release has not been announced. 4Gamer.net reported that both hardware items incorporate classic Xbox aesthetic elements from the brand's 25-year history.
