Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Members Getting a Bonus Freebie on September 10

Highlights

  • Episode Aigis – The Answer, the epilogue chapter of Persona 3 Reload, releases September 10.
  • Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can already claim the P3R Expansion Pass that includes access to Episode Aigis as one of their membership perks.
  • The Expansion Pass is free to keep forever, even if one decides to end their XGP Ultimate subscription.

As a die-hard fan of the Persona series who has spent countless hours navigating the social links and battling shadows, I couldn’t be more excited about the upcoming release of Episode Aigis – The Answer for Persona 3 Reload on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate!

Subscribers of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate are soon receiving an additional bonus: the “Episode Aigis – The Answer” DLC for “Persona 3 Reload”. Even though this add-on is set to be available on September 10, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members have had the chance to claim it ahead of time.

Persona 3 Reload made its debut on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service on February 2, being available right from the start. Not long after, Atlus unveiled an Expansion Pack for this game, with the initial content dropping in March 2024, offering two new background music sets. Another BGM set and some Velvet Room costumes were introduced about two months later. The plan for post-launch content will culminate with Episode Aigis – The Answer, a revamped version of the epilogue chapter from Persona 3: FES originally released on PS2.

Episode Aigis Coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on September 10

The DLC chapter for Persona 3 Reload is set to drop on September 10th. If you’re an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member, you’ve had access to the Expansion Pass for Persona 3 Reload since March 2024. If you haven’t grabbed it yet, you can pick it up now by heading over to the Perks section of the Xbox Game Pass app or the Xbox PC app.

XGP Ultimate Version of Persona 3 Reload Expansion Pass Is Free to Keep Forever

By claiming this offer, you can link the Persona 3 Reload Expansion Pass exclusively to your Xbox account. Consequently, the additional content, such as Episode Aigis, becomes permanently yours and is no longer bound by a subscription. This makes the Expansion Pass for Persona 3 Reload one of the most generous freebies on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in recent times.

Of course, even if the DLC content is tied to one’s account forever, the Xbox Game Pass version of Persona 3 Reload is not. But the way this offer is implemented means it’s possible to pick up a month of XGP Ultimate and then downgrade to a cheaper tier in order to keep playing the game with its DLC for as long as it’s available on the service. Alternatively, Persona 3 Reload can currently be purchased at 35% off from the Microsoft / Xbox Store. This discount brings it down to $45.49, which is its lowest-ever price on the storefront. The offer itself is available until August 27, and happens to coincide with a massive Persona franchise sale that Sega is currently running on Steam.

Unlike the previous DLC for Persona 3 Reload, which was focused on cosmetic changes only, Episode Aigis expands the game with additional playable content. However, the final chapter is set to alter the RPG’s core mechanics by eliminating its time management and socializing elements, leaving primarily dungeon exploration and cutscenes as the main features remaining.
