What actually matters for running Persona 5 Royal
Atlus built P5R around stylised, flat-shaded art rather than brute-force rendering, so the GPU and CPU demands are tiny by modern standards. Almost any machine from the last several years maxes it out at 1080p/60 without breaking a sweat. It is the definition of a low-stress install.

Settings and optimisation tips for Persona 5 Royal
There is genuinely little to tune — max everything at your native resolution and uncap the framerate. The only setting worth a glance is the framerate limit itself; let it run at your monitor's refresh rate for the smoothest menus and battle transitions, which is where the game's animation shines.
