As part of a recent Sega Sammy financial results Q&A, the company commented on the positive critical reception for the game:
Q: Please tell us why the Metacritic score of “Persona 5 Royal” (Remaster) is so high.
A: As it is a remastered title, we guess it is largely because the original title was highly rated. In addition, since the remaster support of the title, such as multi-platform and multi-language was done by Sega’s development team, we believe that we were able to utilize the know-how accumulated at Sega to remaster the game to a high level that satisfy even core fans of the game for PC. Especially in the Metacritic score, PC is rated the highest. SEGA also believes that it was good from an efficient point of view to be able to remaster Atlus title in between projects.
