Rumours surrounding a Nintendo Switch version of Persona 3 Reload have spiralled after the game was listed on online retailer Play Asia.
As reported by ComicBook.com, Twitter user UntilPersona posted a screenshot (below) of the listing which showed a Switch version alongside the already confirmed PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions.
A now deleted Reddit post also claimed that, upon speaking to customer services, Play Asia said the Switch version of Persona 3 Reload is not an error on its part. Neither publisher Atlus or Nintendo itself has commented on this, however, meaning this information is far from official.
Play Asia has listings for Persona 3 Reload for Nintendo Switch
When asking customer service, they confirm it is not an error. We will likely see this confirmed in a Nintendo Direct of some sort soon. pic.twitter.com/NQSyL3oGNs

The listing certainly suggests it’s coming to Switch, though fans are questioning why Atlus would save this announcement for a later date, perhaps during a Nintendo Direct, when the newly announced Persona 5 Tactica was confirmed for Switch already.
Both it and Persona 3 Reload were announced during the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase. Persona 5 Tactica launches November 17 and sees the original game’s cast return in a more strategy focused RPG, while Persona 3 Reload is a straight remake of the original.
This means it won’t include content from Persona 3 FES or Portable, meaning Reload won’t have the option to play as the female protagonist.
Nintendo fans hoping to play the remake on Switch will just have to wait and see if Nintendo announces anything official, though history does lean in their favour. Both Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal are already on the system alongside Persona 3 Portable, and the aforementioned launch of Persona 5 Tactica suggests this relationship between Atlus and Nintendo hasn’t come to an end yet.
