Coming fresh off the heels of November’sHyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Japanese video game developer Omega Force is hard at work on the localization of its warriors-styledPersona 5spinoff game,Persona 5 Strikers. Initially released asPersona 5 Scramblein Japanthis past February, the game is being localized for a Western release almost a year later, set to release on July 19, 2025.
Just like many of Omega Force’s hack and slash spinoff titles —Hyrule Warriors,Fire Emblem Warriors, andDragon Quest Heroes —Persona 5 Strikersis shaping up to be a faithful representation of its source material. Being such, the game replicatesPersona 5’s iconic art-style, witty dialogue, and catchy music, but many have been wondering how this all will translate toPersona 5 Strikers' file size in its Western release.

Nintendo’s official eShop webpage has indicated that anyone who wants to download the game to their Nintendo Switch directly from the eShop should have at least 12.0 GB of free storage. While this certainly isn’t the largest game on the Nintendo Switch, coming just short ofThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s size of 14.4 GB, it is larger thanOmega Force’s most recent Nintendo Switch release,Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which came in at 10.9 GB.
Interestingly,Persona 5 Strikers' 12.0 GB size is a bit larger than the version of the game that released in Japan this past February, which came in at 10.1 GB. Though this has not been confirmed by the game’s developer, it is likely to account for extra options and content in the Western release, such as the ability to choose between eitherEnglish or Japanese voice acting.
AlthoughPersona 5 Strikersis a spinoff of the critically acclaimed RPG, the game’s director has reassured fans that its storyline is canonical and thus isa direct sequel toPersona5.Fans of the series in the West can be sure to expect the samePersona 5charm they know and love when the Phantom Thieves strike back early next year.
Persona 5 Strikerswill release for Nintendo Switch, PC, and PlayStation 4 on February 23rd.
