Update 2: Yep, PlayStation is starting to send out yet another wave of Persona 5 Royal bundle codes. These codes give you access to a number of avatars and dynamic themes, and this article update details the third bundle. It contains nine avatars and three themes.
As we've already reported, these codes are based on your progress in Persona 5 Royal. You get this third bundle for beating the game's "final Palace", although it's unclear whether the email is referring to the final Palace of the first game, or the final final Palace that's only available in Royal.
Anyway, as far as we can tell, these codes are only being sent to European players right now. We'll keep updating this article as we learn more.
In the meantime, here's everything in the third bundle:
Avatars
- Haru Avatar
- Akechi Avatar
- Kasumi Avatar
- Haru Big Bang Burger Avatar
- Akechi Logo Avatar
- Kasumi Phantom Thief Avatar
- Haru's Persona (Milady) Avatar
- Akechi's Persona (Robin Hood) Avatar
- Kasumi's Persona (Cendrillon) Avatar
Themes
Haru Theme
Akechi Theme
Kasumi Theme
All of these themes are fully dynamic; they have unique character animations and artwork, as well as custom system icons and backing music taken from the game.
You can read about all the previous bundles below.
Update 1: Sony has begun sending out a whole new wave of codes for Persona 5 Royal dynamic themes and avatars. This second bundle contains three more themes for your PS4, as well as nine new avatars. You need to complete the fourth Palace to secure a code.
As far as we can tell, this promotion only applies to European players right now, but even then, the timing appears to be different for a lot of people. Some are getting the codes for these bundles just a few hours after they meet the requirements, while others are having to wait over a day. We will, of course, continue to update this article as we learn more.
Anyway, here's a list of everything that's included in the second bundle:
Avatars
- Yusuke Avatar
- Makoto Avatar
- Futaba Avatar
- Yusuke Dragon Avatar
- Makoto Panda Avatar
- Futaba Graffiti Avatar
- Yusuke's Persona (Goemon) Avatar
- Makoto's Persona (Johanna) Avatar
- Futaba's Persona (Necronomicon) Avatar
Themes
Yusuke Theme
Makoto Theme
Futaba Theme
Again, all of these themes are fully dynamic, with moving character models and artwork. They also come with their own custom system icons and their own backing music taken straight from the game.
Check below for the original story, which contains details on the first bundle.
Original Story: Atlus and Sony have gone above and beyond with this one. PlayStation is currently sending out Persona 5 Royal avatar and theme bundles via email. If you've completed the game's first Palace, you may be getting a code that you can redeem on the PlayStation Store.
Right now it's unclear how far-reaching this promotion is. We're in the UK and we got a code, but we're waiting on more information with regards to other regions.
But honestly, it's a pretty amazing bundle. You get 12 avatars and four fully dynamic themes. We've listed everything below:
Avatars
- Protagonist Avatar
- Ryuji Avatar
- Morgana Avatar
- Ann Avatar
- Morgana Avatar (anime style)
- Ann Avatar (anime style)
- Ryuji Avatar (cartoon)
- Protagonist's Persona (Arsene) Avatar
- Ryuji's Persona (Captain Kidd) Avatar
- Morgana's Persona (Zoro) Avatar
- Ann's Persona (Carmen) Avatar
- Metaverse Navigation App Avatar
Themes
Protagonist Theme
Ryuji Theme
Morgana Theme
Ann Theme
Again, all of the themes are fully dynamic, featuring unique animations and scrolling artwork. They also have custom system icons, and each of them features a different music track from Persona 5. Really cool.
And remember, we've written a whole load of Persona 5 Royal PS4 guides if you need some help with the game. If you're struggling to clear the very first Palace -- a requirement for this bundle -- then our advice may come in handy...

The themes really are fantastic, really cool reward initiative.
No Kawakami avatar
Not even played it yet due to FF. Guess i wont be getting those themes.
No email for me and I've just completed the 3rd Palace, interesting to know how they know how many places you have done.
So is this just for the digital version or the retail version too? And where is the source of this information?
@LN78 There's no mention of a time limit in the email (code expires on the 31st March 2030!), so I'm honestly not sure. I'll update the article if we learn anything more.
Nothing for regular Persona 5 players? That sucks.
😢
@playstation_king It won't be limited to the digital version — it's probably based on Trophy data (there's a Trophy for beating the first Palace).
You might not have a code yet because of your region. Sony might be sending them out on a region-by-region basis depending on time zones and other factors.
Source is my own email!
Platinum achieved and no email
@ShogunRok ah ok the trophy thing makes sense, and il have to wait patiently then I suppose, hopefully the UK gets it first 😜
Those are cool themes! I stopped playing after Madarame's Palace because of FF7R but I'll pick it up again later on...
I was just thinking about these themes and wondering if we would get them here in the west.
Hopefully this reward will be active for a while since I just started FF7 Remake.
I still playing ff7 remaster but I think I'll play p5 royal until I completed the first palace. Man this dynamic theme looks great
sucks that ps4 themes wont work on ps5
Argh i best get on this quick. I have royal but was waiting to play it till after FF 7, but id hate to miss out!!!
Hell yeah! Good things come to people who don’t brush off JRPGs as “weeb trash”
@playstation_king Like you, I completed yesterday the 3rd palace and I received the mail today (I have the game on disc and I'm in Italy).
I just platinumed the game on Hard difficulty, I liked it more than the original and that is pretty hard to top. I'll update my theme now
Really hope there ends up being one for Kasumi. Love Kasumi.
I hope this works for me,I'm still on a child account but since I purchased P5R physical I was able to play it. I didn't get the PS4 avatars and themed based on gaming playtime so I hope I get the email,,,
I sure hope I get his email since the dynamic theme code that came with my physical copy did not work!
Hmm, I was going to hold off starting Royal until I finish Final Fantasy Remake, but if these themes continue to be available they would be a damn good incentive to start playing.
Wish I bought this now. Are those themes purchasable?
Didn't expect Atlus to be so generous and tie these to in-game progression but I'm definitely not complaining! I'm just happy us lot in the EU finally get a Joker avatar tbh.
@jly1987 Sadly not, seems they're only available through this rewards email.
@Col_McCafferty I'm even surprised they didn't sell it, wait... they might sell it to us base P5 players. That's the only shocking thing about this game, that for an RPG, we actually have to buy costumes... I mean it's RPG, it should be flooded with purchasable costumes from a store on Central Street.
@Kurusu I have a Joker avatar for preordering I think, back in 2017.
Wow, they've really been incentivizing people to buy and play P5 Royal. I guess I'll just wait for the updated re-release when Persona 6 comes out, as I have no interest in replaying what is basically the same game so soon.
@Ralizah Your loss. Enough of the game has changed and for the better.
@jly1987 not yet no.
Hmm. Strange. In Japan and other regions these were sold as character bundles on the PS Store. But there were more than this. There were ones for Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Akechi, Kasumi, The Twins and Lavenza too. Wonder when we're getting those in the west?
About what I said previously, what if they're sent out as you complete certain parts of the game e.g. Yusuke sent out after the Madarame palace? Whoever received these keep checking as you progress through the game.
The promotion said exclusive themes and avatars would unlock as you play through and beat different palaces. So I don't think this is a limited offer and is probably available regardless of when you unlock them.
So what I said probably is the case then? Great! I want the Futaba and Akechi ones. I haven't received mine yet, UK, and I'm just starting Kaneshiro's Palace so have completed Kamoshida and Madarame. Am I the only UK player to not have received them yet, is this a common problem?
@jly1987 you unlock them as you play
Just checked my junk mail just in case. I'll be using that Ryuji Theme and the metaverse avatar for sure!
At 105hrs in I've just started the casino palace.
I just updated my email settings as I had them wrong. I hope I get. Heck, I may call Somy if I don’t I’ve competed two palaces.
Nothing for me yet, I live in the US.
I think maybe I kinda regret buying ff7r over this, but the free FF7 theme is so great too. I wish I was rich
@ShogunRok whats the trophy called for defeating the first palace
Eastern USA here, done with the bank palace, no bundle email yet.
@editsmotion It's called Castle of Lust: Seized.
@ShogunRok thank you for telling me the name of the trophy
@ShogunRok is there a estimate for how long it will take to recieve the codes
@editsmotion Sadly I'm just not sure. Still waiting on information with regards to how this actually works. Could just be that the codes are being sent out in waves, and some regions get them earlier (or much earlier) than others.
I'll update the story as soon as I know more, hopefully soon.
okay thanks for the information
This is really weird. I'm from the UK and on the 3rd palace and I haven't recieved an email yet other people have that are from the UK. Is it to do with when you completed it or something since I got the game a few days ago.
I think the U.S. players will have to wait at least a few weeks before we get those bundles.
No code yet for me. Im on the 4th palace
Just been emailed a code for themes for Yusuke, Makoto and Futaba. They are pretty cool!
Now that I've finished the game, also got a code for Haru, Akechi and Kasumi. Not too shabby.
I've updated this article with the next bundle (that was fast!).
Based on what we can tell, these bundles are only being sent to European players at the minute, but we'll keep updating the article as we learn more.
I still haven't received the codes for the first batch ;_; I guess I'll wait
Ok im working toward palace 1, but then im definitely going back to ff7. As much as i love p5. Really hope these are not time limited as i want that makoto theme
I'm a bit stuck. I used the download code on my phone, everything went through fine, now I have access to the avatars but the themes didn't download and can't find anywhere to download them from. Anyone have any ideas?
@Feena same
damn I'm one of the unlucky ones. im in the um and beat the game about a week ago and nothing. checked all folders and stuff. I linked my psn to a new email on the day all this was announced, i hope that wouldn't cause any problems. either way, I'm just gonna keep waiting and try not to sound impatient.
These do look really nice, but even still I would find it hard to justify getting rid of the I am Setsuna theme I have, as much as I disliked the music in that game (to the point where is made me quit the game), but for a menu it just works I think.
On the subject though, can someone confirm what music track do these themes use?
@Expa0 These are all the tracks, including the ones that haven't yet released and are currently japan exclusive.
Lavenza- Aria of the Soul
Twins- Aria of the Soul
Maruki- Ideal and the real
Kasumi-Royal Days
Joker- Tokyo Daylight
Ryuji- New Beginnings
Morgana- Break it down (elp)
Ann- Alright
Yusuke- Break it down
Makoto- Days of Sisters
Futaba- Beneath the Mask (instrumental)
Haru- Alright (elp)
Akechi- No more what ifs (instrumental)
I still havent recieved the first set of codes 😔, can anyone from the UK confirm that they have recieved them yet? And is there something I'm not doing right?
@playstation_king i have seen many people say they have it. i'm also in the uk and havent got any emails from playstation. i was concerned abiut my email settings but everything that should be checked is checked. it's safe to assume that they're being sent in waves, and we're just some of the unlucky few that'll have to keep waiting and hoping we get it I guess
@nxzuko when you say everything is checked, what do you mean by that?
@playstation_king as in the boxes in the notification settings, some people have the box for receiving emails unchecked. mine is checked, but i'm still waiting so there's likely just a certain amount of time between each wave
Ok guys. I have the reason why some are not receiving these and it is SO INCREDIBLY STUPID. Turns out you had to be signed up to the SIE Newsletter before 31st March to be eligible. NOT allowing emails in your notification settings but signing up to the newsletter, something completely separate and unrelated. Apparently even signing up to the newsletter now still leaves you ineligible so sorry guys, guess we get nothing. I'm currently writing a complaint email, you're all free to do the same. If enough people point out how stupid this is then maybe it will be changed. For those wondering this information came from Sega.
@RetroDragon i don't mean to seem rude but do you have any kind of source for this to show? i'm not saying such out of disbelief, I've sent a message to a persona news page and i just would like to give them proof, just so we can get the word out there so people don't waste there time tryinf to fix something they can't. again i apologise if i seem rude, if I do happen to get this posted i can try to make sure you are credited for bringing light to the matter
@nxzuko Sorry to say that all I have is a comment that got posted somewhere where someone had contacted Sega and gotten a response back. The closest I have to proof is the copy pasted extract from their supposed reply. Sorry.
@nxzuko Although some contacting Sony live support have been told otherwise. They are closed right now but when they are open tomorrow I will have a chat with them myself and leave my findings here.
@RetroDragon screenshot?
@editsmotion As a matter of fact I have just obtained a screenshot of this response from someone else with the same extract of text. I will send it momentarily
Screenshot available here.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mVwxLzszb9w-DZTo0gnY-E1cax3WbRts/view?usp=drivesdk
@RetroDragon thank you for the help! I managed to get a screenshot myself also, as I sent an email. seeing your message really helped me get the word out, I've informed some persona news accounts over on Instagram and they should hopefully be spreading this info soon. it's nice to find someone else trying to make sure no one else wasted their time on fixes that don't exist
@RetroDragon okay thanks. i shall be sad now
@editsmotion but I am subscribed 😭
About halfway through my second playthrough, have had every email thing turned on for Playstation for months, and I have yet to get a single one of these... thanks sony very cool
Where do I sign up to make sure I get these? I just completed the game tonight
@ShogunRok where did you sign up for them?
@nxzuko So as it turns out Mitchell from Sega support made a mistake. You just have to have emails from Sony turned on when you get the trophy and you will receive a code within 14 days of receiving the trophy. If you don't receive it contact Sony support and the problem should be resolved.
And yet still nothing for P5 players?
Come on Sony and Atlus, throw us a bone here!
@RetroDragon so if we just contact sony support they can fix the issue? Thats good to know at least
@creed1217 After 14 days of having the trophy yes. And you have to have emails turned on.
@RetroDragon Guess imma have to contact them today at least for the first waves of themes. I got the trophies for kamoshidas and madarames palaces April 1st
@Mystic_Pebbles You don't, it's just based on Trophy data. And as @RetroDragon says, you likely need to have emails from PlayStation enabled in your account information.
@ShogunRok Precisely. The code should be sent to you within 14 days of receiving the related trophy. If it is not recieved then Sony support can be contacted to resolve the issue. And if you don't mind me asking what was the email header for the 1st bundle? Just so it's easier for me to search my emails for.
@RetroDragon It was... You've Conquered Kamoshida's Palace - Exclusive Persona 5 Royal Themes and Avatars Unlocked
@ShogunRok Thank you
@RetroDragon Hi, by emails from Sony turned on do you mean selecting "Yes" for both options in the Notification Settings?
@WanderingBullet Yes
@RetroDragon Noted. Thank you.
I assume these are the themes (all purchasable in Japan)
https://youtu.be/MfixLwjblV8
@Rob_230 Yeah, these look like the same themes. So if a person can make a Japanese PSN account you can buy just the themes and download them to your account.
It's cool that they're tied to trophy data here in the west but it's kinda wonky when it comes to e-mailing codes to folks.
Yes, I will have all of these and change them weekly. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Got the Kasumi theme I really wanted but kind of disappointed with it for a certain, spoiler-filled reason
@WanderingBullet what notifications options are there and where can I find them? Thanks
@RetroDragon so you don't need to subscribe to SIE newsletters to get it
Ok so the SIE newsletters is done but is it still only available for EU players?
@quangngoc2807 i'm even more confused
Just platinumed the game and had the game since march 31th. Live in québec, Canada and still did not received any e-mail. Yes, I'm suscribed to their e-mail.
@Deadlyblack @Rob_230 They should be the same as the ones from Japan. You can buy and use the themes on different accounts but not the avatars unfortunately.
@playstation_king I found it on my.playstation.com. Sign in and go to your "Account Settings". Then go to "Notification Settings".
@WanderingBullet You can just download the artwork off the internet and use the PS app to set it as your profile pic, then set your PSN profile to use your profile pic rather than a PSN avatar.
Would love any of these bit as im yet to start the game i dont think ive got any chance.
Well, I got the Castle trophy on 31st March so I guess I’m screwed now, I just hope that let us folks in the West at least purchase the themes and avatars because it looks like I ain’t getting anything :”(
P.S: Does anyone know is there a Sony live chat because I can’t find one and nobody is answering me on E-mail, thanks
Did a speed run of it on my other account after I turned on notifications - fingers crossed
Also the twins, lavenza, and Maruki themes are obtainable by getting all the achievements and the platinum trophy for the game.
Here is a link with a screenshot of it on Twitter. https://twitter.com/luckyslime_/status/1251452776892133376?s=21
In UK, finished the game yesterday, any idea when I'll get all the codes?
Apparently a dude in Florida got them too. Has anyone else with US account received them yet? https://www.facebook.com/groups/213753132737162/permalink/676256519820152/
@ShogunRok so ilive in sweden and i havent gotten any mails yet
also i wanted to ask if you would get the codes to the email that was connected to your psn account or if you needed another email
@CasualDraws The codes will be sent to the email address that your PSN account uses. The sender is just PlayStation — same as any marketing email that you might already receive.
@ShogunRok i just saw a guy with a screenshot aying i had to be subscribed to the Sony newsletter before the 31st and i wasent so am i screwed?
@CasualDraws You might be, I'm honestly not sure. I got the codes no problem and I've always had PlayStation newsletters enabled. I don't know if there's a time limit — but you'll definitely need to be getting emails from PlayStation.
@Matroska Thanks but I can't use the app anymore since my iPad's broken and I my cell phone doesn't have a data plan.
I platinumed the game april 3rd and i do receive emails from PlayStation but havent gotten the Theme codes am i just unlucky?
@ShogunRok Question: Is there any info in which countries is this promo available?
@ZeroOverOne All I know for sure is that codes have been confirmed in multiple European countries. I've seen a few people in the US say they've received codes as well, but I've had no confirmation.
Sorry I can't be of more help!
i finally got my code
I'm in the U.S. and I just got a code for the yusuke, futaba, and makoto themes and avatars but still haven't gotten the first set. Considering I did get the ones I got I am hopeful that I will get the others.
@RetroDragon so am I right in thinking that if I had emails turned off when I got them, I can no longer receive them? I just turned them on
BREAKING NEWS. IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY MY OWN INBOX THAT SEGA WERE INCORRECT. I have bundle 2 but not the first one
Do you know how to get them? I would like to know myself.
Haven't gotten any yet and I'm about to platinum the game. I'm in the US but I'm worried since I'm a child account I won't get the emails
I got the platinum Two days ago and got a new set not listed here.
You get avatars and themes for Maruki, the twins and another which is a spoiler.
Who would be the best to email enquiring about not receiving any emails, just passed the 4 palace and havent had anything as of yet. I understand I'm still fairly early on in the game, I just wanna make sure I'm still able to get them 😅
U.S player can confirm just recieved code for twins lavenza and maruki today
For those living in the US (like me) it is possible to get the themes. Just contact customer support and give them the dates for which you got the appropriate trophy
Okay, so what can I do if I only got the last two bundles and not the first twp sets?
I'm living in the UK, unfortunately for me i turned on emails form playstation after i hit the kamoshida deadline and got the trophy which was on the 13th of June. On the 29th of June i got the pyramid trophy and yesterday i got the 2nd dynamic theme pack. I've been looking for the UK playstation support email to get the first pack but i can't find a way to contact them anywhere - could anyone help me pls?
I downloaded the themes but my PS4 is telling me that I can’t use the themes
