5-This is the first time tracks from the Persona 5 universe have appeared in a non-Atlus title in this volume, and the Tower of Fantasy crossover doubles as a callback to the team's prior work. Both collaborations are available at launch with no extra unlock requirement; tracks are added to the player's radio playlist automatically.
7+Both collaborations are available at launch with no extra unlock requirement; tracks are added to the player's radio playlist automatically once the in-game music feature is unlocked. The collaboration was first revealed during the April 18, 2026 Launch Preview Special Program and went live alongside global launch on April 29, 2026.

2833 The Walkman

30-The Walkman is a new portable music player introduced for Version 1.0. It lets players listen to the same licensed tracks while exploring Hethereau on foot, separating music playback from vehicle interactions. The Walkman is treated as a flavor accessory, with on-screen visual cues showing the player wearing earbuds when active.

32-Music played through the Walkman ducks under important diegetic audio cues during combat, conversations, and cutscenes, then returns to full volume after the cue clears. This stops licensed tracks from drowning out story-critical dialogue while still keeping music accessible during long traversal sessions.

34-Why This Matters
39+All three confirmed collaborations were available immediately at server open on April 29, 2026 across all four global server regions (Asia, America, Europe, SEA) and on the Mainland China client which had already launched on April 23, 2026. The tracks are permanent additions to the in-game music library rather than time-limited crossovers.
3540  
36-Licensing real-world music is rare in gacha titles outside of one-off short event pieces. The decision to lead Version 1.0 with the Persona 5 and Tower of Fantasy crossovers does several things at once: it reinforces Hotta Studio's identity as the team behind Tower of Fantasy, gives Persona fans a reason to drop into Hethereau without committing to the gacha system, and provides a long-running source of free in-game audio content that complements the original soundtrack.
41+Both regional clients ship with the same track set; there is no Mainland China exclusive or global exclusive track at launch. Future tracks released through patch updates are expected to follow the same parity expectation unless the developer announces otherwise.
3742  
38-All tracks are licensed for in-game playback only. They do not appear in standalone soundtrack releases for Neverness to Everness, and players cannot extract, redistribute, or stream the tracks outside of the in-game radio and Walkman. The official theme song and original soundtrack remain on standard streaming platforms separately (see the Soundtrack page).

42-Cycle through the radio stations early. Each station has a different mix; Persona 5 Royal tracks, Persona 5 Phantom X tracks, and Tower of Fantasy tracks are split across multiple stations rather than bunched together.Use the Walkman during long traversal between districts. The radio cuts out when leaving a vehicle, but the Walkman keeps playing through gliders and on-foot exploration.Mute the radio during anomaly investigations. Some sound design cues blend with environmental audio; licensed music may overlap with tells the game wants you to notice.The Walkman remembers the last track played. Closing and reopening it resumes from the same position, so saving a favorite track at the right point feels like a continuous playlist.
45+Mix the three collaborations for variety. Shuffle Phantom X tracks with Royal tracks and Tower of Fantasy tracks to cover both ends of the energy spectrum across a single drive.Match track type to activity. Use atmospheric tracks (Beneath the Mask -rain-, Star Shine, Mirafleur Hall) for Affinity Bond moments and downtime; use battle tracks (Wake Up Your Hero, Show Stealer, Life Will Change) for combat and high-speed driving.Watch for additional tracks. The launch eighteen are confirmed in-game. Additional collaboration tracks may be added across post-launch patches; check the in-game music library after each Patch Notes update.
