Persona 5 cost to play

Persona 5 is a role-playing game developed by Atlus, first released in 2016 on PS3 and PS4. In the UK it is sold today as a one-off digital purchase for PS4 on the PlayStation Store, where SEGA Europe is listed as publisher; the store page notes it was sublicensed to and published by Deep Silver. It is not sold on Steam or the Nintendo eShop. The expanded Persona 5 Royal is a separate release with its own listings and is not covered here.

How it plays

Persona 5 is a role-playing game about a young team of phantom thieves. By day the player lives a high-school life in a big city, spending free time however they please, and the bonds formed with the people they meet grow into a power that helps them fulfil their destiny.

After school, the player uses the Metaverse Navigator, a smartphone app, to slip into Palaces: surreal worlds created from the hearts of corrupt adults. There, with the power of Persona, the team steals the Treasure of each target's distorted desires to give them a change of heart, as part of a fight to reform society with their own sense of justice.

The PlayStation Store lists English as the game's language, and the original Japanese voices are available as downloadable content.

What it costs

On the PlayStation Store UK, Persona 5 costs £49.99 at standard price. The PlayStation UK game page lists Persona 5: Ultimate Edition at £79.99, £30 more than the standard game. The store notes that the PS4 version can be played on PS5, although some PS4 features may be missing. A Japanese audio track is offered as an add-on.

Age rating

Persona 5 is rated PEGI 16 on its PlayStation Store UK listing, with descriptors for violence and bad language. Its spin-offs carry their own ratings: pegi.info lists Persona 5 Strikers at PEGI 16 and Persona 5 Tactica at PEGI 12.

How we checked

Prices are from the PlayStation Store UK product page and the PlayStation UK game page, read on 21 October 2026, at standard price. The age rating is from the same PlayStation Store listing, because the pegi.info search that day returned only the spin-offs. Persona 5 is not on Steam, so this page has no Steam player figure. The gameplay description is based on the PlayStation UK game page.

It ranks #23 in our best games of all time ranking.
