Fans of the Persona franchise will likely be well aware that Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is coming soon to Nintendo Switch, PC and modern PlayStation consoles — the game will actually be with us this month!
The fighting game that lifts characters from previous Persona games was first released on consoles in 2014, after an arcade 2012 debut, and now it is making the move to a few more systems.
But when is Persona 4 Arena Ultimax set to come out on these new homes, and what do we know about it so far? Read on for all the details.
When is the Persona 4 Arena Ultimax release date?
The PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC release date for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is set for Thursday 17th March 2022, the developers have confirmed, so there’s not long left at all to wait then!
What platforms can I get Persona 4 Arena Ultimax on?
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax will soon be playable on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and on PC via Microsoft Windows. Previously it found a home on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.
One thing to note with the Switch release is that it won’t include Rollback Netcode. This is a shame as it is an important part of having a smooth experience whilst playing online – fingers crossed this won’t hurt the enjoyment for Nintendo players too much. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Rollback Netcode is part of the release for PlayStation and Windows.
Can I pre-order Persona 4 Arena Ultimax?
Pre-orders for the game still aren’t live over at either the PlayStation Store or over on the Nintendo Switch eShop. We’ll keep an eye on it and as soon as they are active we will let you know – and it can’t be too long before they are now.

While not remastered for the latest consoles, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax will still look and play better than ever on the Switch and the PS4 – and of course, on PC. So get ready to enjoy all the various story modes on offer all over again and if you are new to the game, you’re in for quite a ride.
