Persona 3 Reload players can currently grab the game’s complete Expansion Pass on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Expansions and DLC packages are not normally offered on Xbox Game Pass as part of the subscription, so this is a unique opportunity for Persona fans.
Persona 3 Reload was released on Game Pass last month, becoming one of the most high-profile day-one releases on the service in 2024. Soon after that, Atlus revealed that the game would get an expansion pass that would add extra content like songs, costumes, and the Episode Aigis: The Answer DLC.
Now, Persona fans who subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate can claim the Expansion Pass for free. To gain access to it, gamers should visit the Perks section of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and claim it, as the content will not be available otherwise. The P3R Expansion Pass will come in three waves, with the first one recently becoming available and bringing old songs from Persona 5 Royal and Persona 4 Golden, including several classics such as “Life Will Change” and “Beneath the Mask.” The second wave will be out in May and will give characters costumes inspired by the Velvet Room, as well as more new songs.
The most important part of the Expansion Pass is Episode Aigis: The Answer, which will only be available in September. This new episode will introduce a post-game adventure that serves as an epilogue for the story. Originally, The Answer was a 30-hour-long experience first available in Persona 3 FES, so fans can expect a similar length in this remade version.
While many Persona 3 Reload fans are excited by the upcoming Episode Aigis: The Answer, the DLC’s reveal is controversial. Recent rumors indicated that Episode Aigis: The Answer was cut content that would be featured in the day-one version of P3R, which angered many fans. The backlash was so strong that Atlus recently explained Episode Aigis: The Answer is not even done yet. According to the developers, only around half of the episode is already done, and the expansion was only greenlit after the success of the base game.
This is just one of the perks offered via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in March, though. Starting on March 22, RPG fans will be able to grab Final Fantasy 14: Starter Edition. This edition gives a 30-day membership for new players and access to the Heavensward and Stormblood expansions.
