| How To Buy Episode Aigis PS5 |
Step 1: Are you ready to delve deeper into the mysteries of the Dark Hour?
Before you embark on this quest, it's crucial to understand a key point: Episode Aigis is NOT sold separately. It is exclusively available as part of the Persona 3 Reload: Expansion Pass. This means you'll be getting more than just the epilogue! The Expansion Pass includes additional content like BGM sets from Persona 5 Royal and Persona 4 Golden, as well as Velvet Room themed costumes and BGM. So, are you ready to expand your Persona 3 Reload experience?
Step 2: Ensure You Own Persona 3 Reload
This might seem obvious, but "Episode Aigis" is DLC (downloadable content) and therefore requires the base game, Persona 3 Reload, to be installed on your PS5. If you don't already own it, you'll need to purchase it first.
Step 3: Accessing the PlayStation Store
There are a few ways to get to the PlayStation Store on your PS5:
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.
From your PS5 Home Screen: Look for the PlayStation Store icon (it's typically a blue shopping bag) on your dashboard. Select it with your DualSense controller.
Via the Game Hub: If you have Persona 3 Reload installed, you can highlight the game on your home screen, press the "Options" button, and select "View Product" or "PlayStation Store" to go directly to its store page.
Step 4: Searching for the Expansion Pass
Once you're in the PlayStation Store:
Using the Search Bar: This is often the quickest method. Navigate to the search icon (usually a magnifying glass) at the top of the screen.
Type "Persona 3 Reload Expansion Pass" into the search bar. You can use the on-screen keyboard or voice dictation if your controller supports it.
Alternatively, you can search for "Episode Aigis", and the search results should lead you to the Persona 3 Reload: Expansion Pass.
Step 5: Locating the Persona 3 Reload: Expansion Pass
After your search, you should see the Persona 3 Reload: Expansion Pass listed. Look for the official art and title.
Verify the details: Ensure it explicitly states "Expansion Pass" and mentions "Episode Aigis -The Answer-" as part of its content. This is crucial to avoid purchasing individual cosmetic packs by mistake.
Step 6: Purchasing the Expansion Pass
Once you've found the correct Expansion Pass:
Select it to go to its product page.
On the product page, you'll see information about the content included, its price, and a button to "Add to Cart" or "Buy." The price for the Expansion Pass is typically around $34.99 USD (or equivalent in your local currency).
Click on "Add to Cart" or "Buy."
Review your purchase: The system will prompt you to confirm your purchase. Double-check the item and the total price.
Select your payment method: You can use a credit/debit card linked to your PlayStation Network account, or use funds from your PlayStation Store Wallet. If you need to add funds, you can do so directly from this screen or beforehand in your account settings.
Confirm the purchase. You might be asked to enter your password for security.
Step 7: Downloading and Installing "Episode Aigis"
Once the purchase is complete, the download process should begin automatically.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
Check your Downloads/Notifications: You can monitor the download progress by going to your PS5's "Downloads/Uploads" section (usually accessed via the notifications icon).
Automatic Installation: Once the download is complete, the content will automatically install. You don't usually need to do anything further.

The "Episode Aigis" content will typically be accessible from the main menu, likely as a new selection or option after you've completed the main story of Persona 3 Reload.
