Quick verdict

The best version of Persona 3 Reload is on PC, and on console it is PS5.

Why PC wins

Persona 3 Reload has no graphics modes on console: each machine runs the way it runs. PC is the only one that goes past 60 FPS, capped at 120, and its shadows are slightly better than any console build. Its graphics options are simple, as usual in this series, and there is no upscaling and no HDR.

On console

On console PS5 leads: native 2160p at a stable 60 FPS and load times four times faster than PS4. Xbox Series X matches that resolution and frame rate; Series S drops to 1080p and removes reflections on some surfaces. Its catalogue also declares VRR plus keyboard and mouse support.

On PS4 and PS4 Pro

Below that, PS4 sits at 1080p and a locked 30 FPS, PS4 Pro at 1620p and the same 30, both cutting texturing, shadows, ambient occlusion and reflections.

For Switch 2 only the demo has been analysed: 1080p internal at 30 FPS, very close to PS4.
