PS Blog readers were rather taken with the Phantom Thieves' new and improved outing.
Persona 5 was the best new game of March, stealing PS Blog readers’ hearts — and over 50% of their votes!
But P5R wasn’t the only popular game last month — runners up with strong support in the polls included Doom Eternal, Call of Duty: Warzone, and MLB The Show 20.
Next up, April! Any predictions?
Things are heating up! We got, just… too many great games in March, from the white-knuckle demon-slaying thrill ride that is Doom Eternal to the serene sandbox of PS VR’s Paper Beast, and with other diverse experiences like the über-stylish Persona 5 Royal, the newest entry of our very own MLB The Show franchise, and the massive, free-to-play Call of Duty: Warzone.
We’ll keep the polls open until Sunday night at 11:59pm Pacific, so be sure to get those votes in before then. Feel free to make a case for your pick in the comments!
What is the voting criteria? That’s up to you! If you were only able to recommend one new release to a friend that month, which would it be? In keeping with our long tradition in the Game of the Year Awards, remastered or re-released games won’t qualify. Ambitious, larger-scale rebuilds and remakes like Shadow of the Colossus and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy will.
How are nominees decided? The PlayStation.Blog and PlayStation Store editorial teams will gather a list of that month’s most noteworthy releases and use it to seed the poll. Write-in votes will be accepted.

Hi
Yeah, Persona 5 Royal probably win
Yeah definitely even though I don’t have it yet spent my paycheck on all PS4 neptunia games and its DLCs
yeah no. Doom eternal is 100000000 times better
Eh It was ok for me
Doom eternal. No doubt.
Persona 5 royal is straight out fire !
Ara Fell was my favorite.
Oh no, a PC port more than 3 years after I played a great game is suddenly ruining my childhood somehow! What if they give you the PC enhancements as a free upgrade on PS5? Will that make you smile a little?
This is really unfair to be honest b/c there were just TOO many great games in March. I’m going to vote Persona 5 Royal but other games like Nioh 2, Doom Eternal, The Room VR, and Paper Beast all deserve to win too.
Nioh 2 definitely!
I vote Nioh 2, I played the Beta too 😷
Persona 5: Royal baby!!!
I love one piece so obviously it’s gonna WIN FOR SURE!!
Doom eternal all day
Doom Eternal !
It’s Nioh 2, baby.
These posts are great…I really can’t tell if these guys are trolling or really believe Sony is going to go bankrupt by allowing a dev to release a three year old game to pc.
Persona 5 royal ez
Persona 5 Royal is really fun it might be the best
Half Life Alyx
yEs
Come on, son…
Doom Eternal
Looking cool Joker!.
Persona 5 Royal has the biggest chance of winning
PIRATES WARRIORS 4 betta get it *pirate grunts and marines band together to start a riot if they don’t win*
Tough month! I haven’t finished the game quite yet, but I think I gotta give it to Doom Eternal.
persona 5. easy win
Easy choice. Doom Eternal by far.
Without a doubt my dude!
RAZE HELL
DAMN RIGHT
Doom Eternal baby!
Knack II for sure baby
Doom64 this port was really well done stayed true to the original version while adding new features and content for everyone to enjoy
DOOM: Eternal
doom eternal
Persona 5 Royal, hands down
Too many games that are amazing in their own genre. can’t really compare them but all still great games. That being said I picked P5R.
Gotta go with Call Of Duty Warzone and Doom Eternal
Well deserved. Bought 2 copies of the Phantom Thieves edition to show my support.
“Doom eternal is way better”
Says the person who didn’t even try persona 5.🙄
And even after playing if someone didn’t enjoy it, good turn based games aren’t for them.
if only they made the themes available for purchase…
