Persona 3 Reload was released on PC on Steam and delighted thousands of players. However, now everything is somewhat different.

The Expansion Pass for Persona 3 Reload costs $35 and for that money Atlus offers:
«Wave 1 – BGM+ Pack from Persona 5 Royal and BGM+ Pack from Persona 4 Golden.
Wave 2 – a set of costumes and background music from the Velvet Room.
Wave 3 is the “Response” story addition.

You have to lead Aigis through the Abyss of Time and endure new tests in order to get to the bottom of the reasons and find out what happened that day…

Many users dissatisfied and leave negative reviews on Steam for the DLC bundle for Persona 3 Reload. They don’t like that Atlus is offering to pay extra for content that (they feel) was “cut from the game.” They express the opinion that all this should have been immediately in the game / included in the most expensive edition.
