Persona 5: The Phantom X, the highly anticipated mobile spin-off of Atlus’s acclaimed franchise, is now available for free on Android and iOS in the West. The game takes fans back to the Persona 5 universe with a brand-new story, new characters, and all the stylish aesthetics that cemented the series’ status in the world of JRPGs.
Originally launched in China as a trial version, Phantom X is now available globally, offering a full experience that blends the classic student life routine with turn-based tactical battles as a member of the Phantom Thieves. And yes, the iconic character Joker is also part of the cast from the start.
New story, new cast, same essence
In Persona 5: The Phantom X, players control a new protagonist and meet an entirely new cast of allies, while following the franchise’s beloved formula: during the day, the character lives a normal life as a student; at night, they take on the identity of a phantom thief to explore palaces in the metaverse and face supernatural threats.
The game keeps the turn-based battles with Personas—powerful creatures that represent aspects of each character’s personality. The Persona fusion mechanic, stylized combat, and strategic elements all return, along with new features like the PvE mode called The Velvet Trials, new palaces, and a guild system that enables player interaction and cooperation.
New content and visuals true to the original
Though a spin-off, Phantom X honors the visual and musical legacy of Persona 5, featuring stylish menus, a striking soundtrack, and an atmosphere that blends school life with the surrealism of alternate worlds.
For longtime fans, it’s a chance to revisit a beloved universe with a fresh perspective. For newcomers, the game is an excellent entry point, offering an accessible story and thrilling combat.
