Opera GX and SEGA are teaming up: Players of *Persona 5: The Phantom X* can choose a ★4 Phantom Idol through GX Rewards instead of hoping for a gacha pull as usual. A total of twelve characters are available to choose from, including Lufel, Motoha Arai, and Leo Kamiyama. The promotion runs through mid-December or until the codes run out.
Key details at a glance:
- Promotion period: September 24 through December 15, 2026, or until codes run out
- Reward: ★4 Phantom Idol Selection Ticket—choose your character freely instead of relying on gacha randomness
- 12 characters to choose from, including Lufel, Motoha Arai, and Kotone Montagne
- Participate via GX Rewards, either using the P5X browser mod or by installing it later from the Opera Store
- 100,000 codes available; redeemable only once per GX.me account and per P5X account
- Some regions are excluded from participation, including Russia, Belarus, and Brazil
What’s Behind the Partnership
Persona 5: The Phantom X is SEGA’s gacha spin-off of the Persona series for PC and mobile devices, in which new characters are traditionally unlocked through random draws. This is exactly where Opera GX comes in: With the Phantom Idol Selection Ticket, players get the chance for the first time to directly choose a ★4 character—without relying on luck from gacha pulls.
In Opera’s press release, Maciej Wójcik, Senior Product Marketing Director at Opera GX, explains: “Persona is one of the franchises that has shaped how an entire generation of gamers thinks about JRPGs.” For Opera, this is already its second major gaming partnership this fall; just last August, the browser collaborated with Overwatch and distributed 21 rewards related to the Overwatch World Cup. The concept remains the same: instead of simply displaying an ad banner, Opera GX integrates the partnership directly into its own GX Rewards system, which was significantly expanded in the Summer 2026 update.
Here’s how to get the Phantom Idol Ticket
If you’ve already installed Opera GX, all you need to do is install the appropriate P5X mod from the official store at store.gx.me. New users should instead download the version of Opera GX with the P5X mod pre-installed directly from the promotion page. In both cases, the actual redemption takes place via GX Rewards: There, you log in with your GX.me account and link it to your Persona 5 account. You’ll then receive the code directly through the browser mod’s notification system and redeem it in the official P5X Store.
There is only one ticket per GX.me account and per Persona 5 account, so having multiple accounts won’t help here. The expiration date is also important: If you haven’t redeemed your code by December 31, 2026, you’ll lose it.
These characters are available to choose from
There are twelve Phantom Idols to choose from: Lufel, Motoha Arai, Shun Kano, Leo Kamiyama, Kayo Tomiyama, Tomoko Noge, Kiyoshi Kurotani, Yukimi Fujikawa, Seiji Shiratori, Toshiya Sumi, Kotone Montagne, and Miyu Sahara. Which character fits best into your team depends heavily on your current roster. After all, the selection is broad enough to fill exactly the gap that you would otherwise have left to chance.
Terms of Participation and Restrictions
A total of 100,000 codes are available, and according to the terms and conditions, every user who participates on time will actually receive a code—at least while supplies last. However, not every region is eligible to participate.

What exactly is Persona 5: The Phantom X?
Persona 5: The Phantom X is a standalone gacha spin-off of the Persona series, which SEGA initially released in Asia and has since made available worldwide for PC, iOS, and Android. The game adopts the familiar Phantom Thief aesthetic and team-building mechanics of the main series, but incorporates live-service elements such as gacha banners and regular events into the gameplay. Opera lists further details about the collaboration and the full terms and conditions on the official campaign page, while the game itself can be found at persona5x.com.
Conclusion
For Opera GX, the Persona 5 collaboration is the logical continuation of what already worked with Overwatch this past summer: a browser reward that resonates immediately with a dedicated fan base. For P5X players, the promotion is worth it either way—a free ★4 character of your choice is a rare treat in everyday gacha play, and downloading the mod costs nothing but a little storage space. So if you’re already using Opera GX, you should take a quick look in the store before the 100,000 codes run out.
