Final Steps

Wrap up installation and play Persona 4 Golden!

We'll be returning to Gaming Mode for these steps, so you may want to open this page on another device.

A Few Tips Before Starting

Save the game often and use all of the save slots. You get 16 of them for a reason!
- We recommend saving every night or every other night at the Dojima residence.

Custom Steam Deck controller prompts are available in the game's Config menu.
- Config > Gamepad > Button Display > Steam

The first time you open the Sub Menu, you'll be asked to configure the Custom Sub Menu.
- If you just want all the basic QOL improvements, simply press the back button and Custom Sub Menu will set itself up automatically.
- If you'd like to know more about each feature, select it in the menu for a brief explanation and deeper customization options.
You can change these settings at any time—open the Sub Menu and press the Command Menu button to get back to the configuration window. See the FAQ for more info.

Double-click the Return to Gaming Mode shortcut on your Steam Deck's desktop.

If you are using a USB-C hub, you can unplug it now.

Find Persona 4 Golden (Reloaded) in your game library and launch it.
- If you can't find the game in the main menu, it will be in the Non-Steam section of your library.
You'll see a Launching from Wine warning. We've already set up Proton and don't need the ASI Loader, so tap or click Start Application.

You should see a console window pop up for a few seconds, and after that P4G should load.

If you see the text MOD LOADER ENABLED on the title screen, your mods are working!

You're ready to play Persona 4 Golden!

Run Persona 4 Golden (Reloaded) to launch P4G with mods. Run the original Persona 4 Golden app to launch vanilla P4G without mods.

Achievements, cloud saves, etc. still work when using mods.

You can jump right in, or you can check out the Extras page if you'd like to remove the Launching with Wine warning at startup.
