Persona 4 Golden has clocked up 500,000 players on PC.

"We're excited to announce that Persona 4 Golden has hit 500,000 players on PC! Thank you for all your support!" Atlus West tweeted excitedly earlier today, before showing off new art created by character designer Shigenori Soejima "to celebrate". "We hope you're enjoying #P4G and welcome back to the Midnight Channel!"

Persona 4 Golden released on PC last month after a surprise announcement – and then a surprise release – at the 2020 PC Gaming Show. It was a pleasant shock for Persona fans, particularly as the publisher doesn't often port its products and this is the first time a Persona game has been available to PC. 

As Siliconera points out, hitting 500,000 players means Persona 4 Golden has sold more on PC in its debut month than it did on PlayStation Vita in Japan over several years combined. 

Persona 4 Golden is available now on PC via Steam for $20, with a deluxe edition that comes with a digital soundtrack and artbook for $25. 

With Personal 5 Royal on the horizon, you might be getting ready for your first foray into the mysterious Metaverse. If you’re already a fan, this is the time to once again hang out with your favourite characters in Atlus’ virtual Tokyo. Persona 5 is one of the best JRPGs of recent years, but is it the best Persona game? We’ve taken a look at all 6 parts of the popular spin-off to the Shin Megami Tensei series and ranked them from best to worst.

Looking for something new to get stuck into? Here are the best PC games right now.
