Persona 3 Reload is being promoted with its deepest discounts yet for the franchise's 20th anniversary, and has recently added characters to the mobile game Persona 5: The Phantom X through collaboration events.
Persona 3 Reload, the 2024 remake of the classic RPG, has been the focus of several marketing pushes and crossovers in mid-2026. Atlus ran a 20th anniversary sale on the PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop, offering the game at its highest discount ever: 60% off on PlayStation and 40% off on Switch. The sale also bundled other Atlus titles at reduced prices. On Steam, the game hit its lowest price ever at 65% off, with the standard edition dropping to 2,687 yen. The Steam version holds an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating from over 39,000 user reviews.
Kotobukiya displayed a color sample of a Persona 3 Reload figure at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles on July 2, as part of its OSHI WORKS Mini line. The figure was shown alongside prototypes for other game and anime franchises, signaling continued merchandise support for the remake.
The free-to-play mobile and PC game Persona 5: The Phantom X added two characters from Persona 3 Reload in collaboration events. In early June, Yukari Takeba joined as a ★5 character in Ver.4.2, and later that month Akihiko Sanada was added as a ★5 character in Ver.4.3. Both events included limited-time contracts, login bonuses, and anniversary rewards, running through late June 2026. No new content for the standalone Persona 3 Reload game has been announced in these stories.
