Some Fans Think Persona 5 is Being Teased for Xbox Because of This Tweet
Xbox gamers have long been starved of the Persona JRPG franchise. The closest that they've ever gotten were the fighting game spinoffs Persona 4 Arena and its Ultimax upgrade, which were released on Xbox 360.

The response from Windows says, «Hard to believe it's been almost six years since Persona 5 was released in the US! How many times have you played through it since then, counting Royal of course?»

Xbox fans thus believe that the Windows tweet was a promotional effort. The idea is that the Windows account is trying to stir up a conversation about Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal coming to PC
