Persona 5 Royal is now out for the PC and is available on the Xbox Game Pass. However, some players cannot see this game on their list of available games. Get to know how to fix Persona 5 not appearing on your Xbox Game Pass, possible errors, and more using this guide.
On PC, chances are that you are in one of the regions not covered by Persona 5’s publisher, Atlus. SEGA is the one in control of publishing the game for the greater part of the world and it’s not the first time that we have a game unavailable to us due to region disparities. Anyhow, changing your region is a quick and easy fix to make Persona 5 Royal appear on your list of games in Xbox Game Pass.
This works here in the Philippines and it’s easy to simply swap your regions. You can then reverse the process once you are done with playing the game.

Make sure to close the Xbox App while doing the below steps:
Note that you can also revert the changes by following the steps and selecting your current region for step 5.
I’ve just checked that if you change back to your default region, Persona 5 Royal will be displayed as an available game. However, running the game won’t work and you have to change regions again for it to run flawlessly.
If you plan on using your PC just for gaming, changing your region won’t have any adverse effects. As mentioned, you can also reverse it once you are done playing the game. However, if you use your PC for other work-related stuff, you might encounter problems with some programs as you are essentially transferring your PC to a different region with different rules and regulations. With that said, check if changing your region would significantly change something in your PC first.
Here in the Philippines, several games like “Yakuza: Like A Dragon” are not available by default. Changing regions using the method specified above can unlock those games and make them available for you to play on your own PC.
It’s sad that we can’t play these games from the get go but thankfully we have this easy workaround. It would also help if Xbox Game Pass could refrain from advertising these region-locked games as available and then restricting them come release day.
Xbox Game Pass is a subscription that offers a large variety of games that you can play on PC and on Xbox consoles. It’s pretty cheap and it also offers games from EA’s catalog like Battlefied and official Star Wars games. I found good use of it since I started my subscription and it’s worth it if you’re looking for something to play with but don’t have the budget to invest in one full game.
