The publisher then states that “If the company contacts you directly, be sure to immediately make the video in question unavailable to the public.”
“There may be instances where the company deems certain videos/livestreams to be inappropriate, in such instances we ask for your cooperation and understanding when requesting the removal of such videos,” they continue.
However, in an ominous aside, Atlus also notes that “there may also be instances where we are unfortunately not free to disclose the specific details as to why a certain withdrawal request needs to be issued.”

Finally, Atlus clarifies that they “do not warrant that posting or recording of any Video/Live Stream will not infringe the copyrights of any third party person or organization.”

As noted above, these streaming guidelines for P5R, although still quite restrictive, pale in comparison to those released for the basic version of personas 5 in 2017.
Those original rules prohibited players from doing things like streaming past July in-game, uploading related videos longer than 90 minutes, and posting “major spoilers.”

Confusingly, the publisher provided few concrete rules for this last point, instead asking players to rely on “your good judgment”.
Overall, although these new P5R The guidelines are more relaxed compared to its predecessor, it’s still strange to see these rules put in place for a worldwide phenomenon of a game whose main plot has been running for six years.
