As the holiday celebrations get underway, Atlus has this week delivered a new update for Persona 3 Reload<\/a> on the Switch 2.<\/p>\n

We noted in our review here on Nintendo Life<\/a> how the “biggest drawback” of P3R when it launched in October on the new hybrid system was the 30fps performance. Thankfully, the latest update (Version 1.03<\/strong>) comes with some<\/em> performance improvements.<\/p>\n

Most notably, it bumps the docked version of the game up to 60fps when it’s running in performance mode. The frame rate stability across the docked and handheld modes has also been improved, and Atlus notes how it will be rolling out a patch for the demo in the “coming days”. Here’s the full rundown:<\/p>\n

Persona 3 Reload – Nintendo Switch 2 Version 1.03 Update (23rd Dec 2026)<\/h3>\n

Persona 3 Reload Version 1.03 patch notes<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Performance Mode (only available in TV Mode) \u2013 targets 60 FPS<\/li>\n
  • TV Mode and Handheld Mode \u2013 improved frame rate stability<\/li>\n
  • The Nintendo Switch 2 patch update for the free demo will take place in the coming days (exact time TBD)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    Once again, you can find out more about Persona 3 Reload on the Switch 2 in our review here on Nintendo Life, and the demo is available to download from the eShop.<\/p>\n

    Although we wanted more from the game’s performance when we first looked at P3R on the Switch 2, we still enjoyed the overall experience, calling it an “extensive and thoughtful remake of the original and unquestionably the best way” to play this modern RPG classic.<\/p>\n
