Persona 5 Take Your Heart Edition contents and price: SteelBook, Morgana plush, art book, school bag, soundtrack, plus Royal's Phantom Thieves Edition.
Persona 5 Take Your Heart Edition — Contents, Price & What's Inside
The Persona 5 Take Your Heart Edition was the $89.99 PS4 collector's edition (2017): a SteelBook case, a 4-inch Morgana plush, a 64-page hardcover art book by Shigenori Soejima, a full-size Shujin Academy replica school bag, a soundtrack CD and a collectible box. Some regions sold the same bundle under the "Take Your Heart Premium Edition" name — it's the same set. It's long out of print, but collectors still hunt it down, and the "editions" question extends to Royal's Phantom Thieves Edition and the PC ports that bundled every DLC pack for free.
What's Inside the Take Your Heart Edition
Announced at E3 2016 and released with the game on April 4, 2017 (North America), the Take Your Heart Edition bundled:
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| SteelBook case | The PS4 disc in a SteelBook emblazoned with Persona 5 designs |
| 4" Morgana plush | The mascot of the Phantom Thieves, with the game's signature red and black |
| 64-page hardcover art book | Concept sketches and character art by Shigenori Soejima |
| Shujin Academy school bag | A full-size replica of the traditional Japanese school bag, complete with the Shujin Academy crest |
| Soundtrack CD | A selection of music by series composer Shoji Meguro |
| Collectible box | The outer packaging with the game's key art |
The IGN E3 2016 announcement and Persona Central's coverage both confirm the full contents list, and the price was $89.99 at launch.
Per the Atlus official Persona 5 site's DLC page, the SteelBook and premium packaging were exclusive to the PS4 collector's edition — the PS3 version shipped in a standard case, which is why the Take Your Heart Edition is PS4-only.
Take Your Heart Premium Edition — Same Bundle, Different Name
If you see "Persona 5 Take Your Heart Premium Edition" in listings, it's the same product. The premium name was used interchangeably in regional marketing (Amazon Canada, EU retailers and Persona Central all mixed "Premium Edition" and "Take Your Heart Edition" for the identical contents: SteelBook, Morgana plush, art book, bag, soundtrack, box). There's no separate, more expensive "Premium" tier for Persona 5 — the confusion comes from the fact that it's a premium-tier collector's set.
Persona 5 Royal's Phantom Thieves Edition
Royal's equivalent (March 31, 2020, PS4) was the Phantom Thieves Edition at $89.99:
- Joker mask with stand (the iconic red mask, wearable)
- Limited SteelBook case
- Art book
- Soundtrack CD
- Collector's box
- Dynamic PS4 theme
IGN's preorder coverage and Polygon's edition guide confirm the contents. There was also a cheaper Launch Edition ($59.99) with just the SteelBook, dynamic theme and a Soejima collector's card.
What About the "Royal Ultimate Edition"?
Search interest in "persona 5 royal ultimate edition" mostly points at the PC/current-gen release. The key fact: Persona 5 Royal on PS5, Xbox and PC shipped with all 45 DLC packs released for the PS4 version included at launch (October 21, 2022) — confirmed by IGN's report on the ports and by the Steam store description itself, which says the "definitive edition... featuring a treasure trove of downloadable content included!"
That means on Steam there's no separate "Ultimate Edition" to buy — the base Persona 5 Royal Steam page (regular price $59.99) already contains every costume pack, BGM set and legacy persona (Raoul, Izanagi-no-Okami, Orpheus Picaro, etc.). The "ultimate" experience is the base game.
If you're choosing an edition today, the PC port beats both collector's editions on value: it's $59.99 (frequently on sale), includes all 45 DLC packs, runs at 60 FPS, and works on Steam Deck — see our Steam Deck guide for settings. The physical editions are for collectors; the digital PC version is for players.
Are the Collector's Editions Worth It in 2026?
Depends on what you collect:
- Take Your Heart Edition — the school bag is genuinely unique (no other Persona edition has one), and the Soejima art book holds its value. Prices on secondhand markets run well above the $89.99 MSRP for sealed copies.
- Phantom Thieves Edition — the Joker mask is the standout; it's the edition people actually display. Similar markup on resale.
- Skip it if — you just want to play the game. The PC version is a fraction of the resale price and contains all the digital content. Our Persona 5 review covers whether the game itself justifies the time, and Persona 5 vs Royal helps you pick the right version.
