Persona 3 Reload already has a solid start on Steam, as it broke through the franchise's concurrent player count record on the PC gaming platform. Persona 3 Reload is a remake of the original 2006 JRPG, adding a number of quality-of-life tweaks, redone visuals, as well as updated mechanics to bring it in line with other games like Persona 5. While one of Persona 3's re-releases, Persona 3 Portable, got ported to multiple platforms last year, the remake's announcement caught gamers' attention rather quickly.
As a result, Persona 3 Reload became one of 2024's most highly anticipated releases, with longtime fans being excited about re-experiencing the game with a fresh look, while newer fans were looking to jump into the series for the first time. While prior PC ports of mainline Persona games on Steam were successful, Persona 3 Reload manages to surpass the franchise's last peak concurrent player count on Steam.
