Leaker Talks Persona 6 Xbox, Game Pass Chances

Persona 6 will be available on Xbox consoles, a well-known leaker has said. The claim was offered along with some speculation about the chances of Persona 6 also making its way to Xbox Game Pass, much like the other recent entries in the series.

Persona 6 has been in development for at least three years, with Atlus's first mention of the game dating back to a 2021 job posting, which saw the studio talk about a company-wide desire to surpass the fifth numbered installment in the franchise in every way. Since all the mainline entries that preceded it debuted as PlayStation exclusives, there has been no shortage of fan speculation that Persona 6 could continue that pattern.

Elaborating on that claim, Nate the Hate noted that he is not entirely certain if the game's Xbox debut will happen on the same date as its seemingly inevitable PlayStation launch. But given how Persona 5 Tactica and Persona 3 Reload were both treated to same-day multi-platform releases, Nate the Hate labeled the notion of Persona 6 following suit as plausible.

On the other hand, the insider isn't as convinced that Persona 6 will manage to reach Xbox Game Pass, at least initially. While he didn't claim to have any concrete info about its potential arrival on Microsoft's subscription service, Nate the Hate opined that such a high-profile launch would «would take a lot to do.» Although the latest two Persona games were both day-one releases on Xbox Game Pass, neither of those was a new mainline series entry.
