Quick rundown
Good news for people who love dramatic choral moments and battle-ready J‑pop: Persona 3 Reload on the Switch 2 is getting a free update on day one that drops eight vocal tracks from the original Persona 3/P3 FES into the game. These tunes will play in dungeons and fights to give your combat a nostalgic soundtrack boost.
What the update includes
Atlus is shipping an update on launch day that adds eight songs performed by Yumi Kawamura. They’re meant to be used as background music during dungeon runs and battles, so don’t expect them in menus or cutscenes — just the combat soundtrack vibes.
Track list
Burn My Dread -Last Battle-
Mass Destruction
Deep Mentality
When The Moon’s Reaching Out Stars
Want to Be Close
Memories of You
Mass Destruction -P3fes Version-
Brand New Days
How to swap the music in-game
Want to hear these while you’re stomping Shadows? Head into the Config menu under System settings, find the “Change Battle BGM” option, and set the Boss Battle and Dungeon BGM to your new favorites. It’s quick, painless, and immediately makes fights feel theatrical.
About Yumi Kawamura’s note
The singer posted a warm message to fans saying she’s thrilled to be part of the series again and hopes longtime players and newcomers alike enjoy hearing her voice back in action. It’s basically a cheerful reunion letter with musical confetti.
Performance and future patches
Atlus knows some frame rate hiccups showed up in the Switch 2 demo. They’ve said fixes are on the way but not ready for launch — expect additional updates down the line to smooth things out.
Final thoughts
If you’re grabbing Persona 3 Reload this week, you’ll get these extra tracks for free at launch. Sound off below: will you swap in the classic vocals or stick with the new soundtrack?
