Persona 5 Royal Switch NSP XCI Update: A Comprehensive Guide for USA and JP Regions

USA and JP Updates

To reiterate, there is no official Nintendo Switch release of Persona 5 Royal, and therefore, there are no NSP or XCI updates available for the game on the platform.

Persona 5 Royal is an enhanced version of Persona 5, developed by Atlus and published by Sega. It was initially released in Japan on September 15, 2019, for the PlayStation 4. Later, it was released in North America on March 31, 2020, and in Europe on April 21, 2020.

Updates: Users can combine base NSP files with update files using homebrew tools to create a single, up-to-date package. Technical Details

Install the Game: Use your preferred method (e.g., FBI for NSP files) to install Persona 5 Royal.

Which One Should You Use?

If you are looking for a single "plug-and-play" file, the XCI might seem appealing. However, given that Persona 5 Royal has received significant performance patches, the NSP + separate update file is generally superior. This allows you to keep the base game and apply the latest patch without re-downloading the entire 14 GB package.
