The first anniversary of Persona 5: The Phantom X (P5X) is here, and SEGA is launching a series of campaigns and collaborations that are coming to the game to celebrate. Available on mobile and PC. Miracle Concert is the biggest of them all, thanks to its collaboration event featuring virtual singer Hatsune Miku.

If you’re unfamiliar with Persona 5: The Phantom X, the game is SEGA Atlus’ mobile game in the Persona franchise with gacha mechanics. On release, we said, “The combat flows quickly, the story grabs you and doesn’t let go, and the social systems remain engaging and fun. While the gacha systems will be enough to turn people off, so far, I’m having a blast with Persona 5: The Phantom X and will keep coming back for more.”
What can players expect from Hatsune Miku in Persona 5: The Phantom X?
Hatsune Miku is a five-star Elucidator who switches songs to strengthen allies with buffs. Taking into account her identity as an idol, she features a unique battle mechanic that changes the music during battle, and, depending on the song, grants different effects to her allies.
By playing multiple songs, she can captivate enemies and render them unable to act using her Virtual Concert ability, allowing her allies to unleash an uninterrupted barrage of attacks. The Hatsune Miku contract will be available until July 16, 2026.
Hatsune Miku also has a place in the update’s new collaboration mini-game. She also appears on Shibuya’s digital billboards and in a new room decoration, taking full advantage of the character. Players can overhear NPCs talking about her around the city, adding to her star presence.
The Hatsune Miku Collaboration Event: Miracle Concert
By clearing the collaboration rhythm game or Boss Battle during the event period, players can obtain Miku Points, which can be exchanged for various items
Minami Miyashita’s Side Story
It’s not all Hatsune Miku, we’re also getting a new side story. Minami Miyashita had nearly given up on her dream of becoming a nurse due to family circumstances until Wonder helped her reconcile with her father. She has since thrown herself back into her studies, determined to achieve her dream.
Looking after the neighborhood kids and helping out at the izakaya has left her with less study time than she had hoped for, and it’s up to you to make sure she gets everything done.
