Persona 5 Royal remains actively supported through merchandise, discounts, and crossover events with spin-off Persona 5: The Phantom X, with a recent concert and figure prototypes keeping the title in the public eye.
Persona 5 Royal, the 2019 expanded version of the 2016 original, continues to see commercial and promotional activity in mid-2026. The game holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating from over 86,000 reviews on Steam, where it was offered at a 70% discount through July 10. Physical merchandise also appeared at Daiso and Seria 100-yen shops across Japan from late June, with items priced between 110 yen and 550 yen, including acrylic stands, keychains, plush pouches, and rubber figures.
The title's presence extended into live events and cross-promotion. The Persona 5 Special Big Band Concert returned on June 30 at Pacifico Yokohama National Hall, featuring conductor Charlie Rosen and vocalist Lyn. The setlist included songs from Persona 5: The Phantom X, the mobile spin-off, alongside tracks from the game's "Third Semester." A coloring contest launched June 26, jointly featuring line art from 16 characters of Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5: The Phantom X, with prizes including pen tablets and Persona 5 goods.
Figure prototypes also surfaced. At Anime Expo 2026 on July 2, Kotobukiya displayed OSHI WORKS Mini color samples for the Persona 5 The Royal protagonist alongside a Persona 3 Reload figure. No release dates or pricing were announced for these figures. The breadth of activity, from discount retail to concert stages, indicates sustained franchise momentum without any new game announcement.
