Yes, Persona 3 Portable and Persona 5 Royal are coming to PC through Steam
SEGA has officially confirmed that Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal are all coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. On PC, the games will be available through Steam, the Microsoft Store, and PC Game Pass (formerly Xbox Game Pass for PC).
Persona 5 Royal is due to arrive first on these new platforms, with a launch date of October 21st 2022. Persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 Portable have no firm release dates at this time, though it is worth noting that Persona 4 Golden is already available on PC through Steam.
Previously, Persona 5 was only available on PlayStation systems, arriving first on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in Japan in September 2016 and Worldwide in April 2017. Since then, the game was enhanced and re-released on PlayStation 5 as Persona 5 Royal with new content, arriving on PlayStation 4 in October 2019 in Japan and Worldwide in March 2020. Now, the game is coming to a broader set of hardware platforms.
At this time, it is unknown what enhancements will be made to Persona 5 Royal and its predecessors when they arrive on current-generation consoles and PC. However, 60 FPS gameplay would be welcome on hardware that supports it, as would a resolution boost. Modern consoles and most gaming PCs should be able to handle that with relative ease.
Persona 3 portable was originally released on PSP, giving gamers the option to play the game with a female protagonist. The game also features visual novel style cutscenes, which are unlike those seen in older versions of Persona 3. Persona 3 Portable is the newest version of Persona 3 to port, though some fans of the original PS2 versions of the game may not like SEGA/ATLUS' choice to remaster Persona 3 Portable over the PS2 version of Persona 3 FES.
