The global servers for Persona 5: The Phantom X will undergo a necessary maintenance period in preparation for the version 1.1 update. This scheduled downtime will occur on either Wednesday, July 9, or Thursday, July 10, depending on your geographical location. Players are encouraged to manage their in-game activities, such as stamina usage, prior to the commencement of this seven-hour maintenance window. Specific timings for major regions include late evening on July 9 for North American west (7 p.m. PDT) and east (10 p.m. EDT) coasts, 11 p.m. BRT for Brazil, and early morning on July 10 for Europe (3 a.m. BST, 4 a.m. CEST) and Asia/Australia (11 a.m. JST, 12 p.m. AEST).
Following the extensive maintenance period, Persona 5: The Phantom X will emerge with its transformative version 1.1 update on Thursday, July 10. The game will resume operations at 2 a.m. PDT for North America's west coast, 5 a.m. EDT for the east coast, and 6 a.m. BRT for Brazil. European players can expect access by 10 a.m. BST and 11 a.m. CEST, while those in Japan and Australia will see the update roll out by 6 p.m. JST and 7 p.m. AEST, respectively. While the maintenance is slated for seven hours, these times serve as a reliable benchmark for when players can dive into the updated content.
Although official patch notes were not available at the time of publication, exciting new additions have been teased for Persona 5: The Phantom X version 1.1. Among the most significant are the introductions of two new Phantom Idols: Minami Miyashita (codename Marian) and Yui (codename Bui). Marian, a Medic with the Bless attribute, specializes in removing negative status effects from allies, offering crucial support in battles. Bui, an Assassin with the Electric attribute, is designed to deliver potent follow-up damage, enhancing offensive strategies. Given the staggered global release, this version may also incorporate elements from prior updates (such as version 1.2 from older servers), including new events, game modes, and side quests, alongside refinements to City Life activities and Velvet Trials. Players should also anticipate the continuation of the main narrative within Miyazawa's Palace, making it an opportune moment to catch up on the story before the update goes live.
