Persona 3 Reload — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance

Technical analysis last updated

Performance overview

Persona 3 Reload on PlayStation 5 offers a pristine native 4K resolution running at a locked 60fps, supplemented by ray-traced reflections. Performance is exceptionally stable with no significant framerate drops reported during gameplay, though pre-rendered cutscenes run at 30fps. Visually, the game excels in character modeling and UI presentation, but suffers from plain geometry and flat environmental lighting. PlayStation 4 versions were not analyzed in detail in this report.
