When Are Action Points Restored in Persona 5 Phantom X?

Persona 5 Phantom X has a number of different mechanics and currencies that players will need to manage. Some are used for pulls, while others are used to slow down progression. Action Points are one of these mechanics, and are used to do things in the City Life section of the game. These are essentially the social activities that players would have done in previous entries in the series. With these social activities being such a core part of the Persona experience, chances are players are going to want to know when they're restored each day in Persona 5 Phantom X, and how they can get more of them.

What Are Action Points Used For in Persona 5 Phantom X?

Just Passing the Time

Action Points are required for completing different social activities in the City Life section of the game. This can include things such as going to the movies, hanging out with confidants, and reading. Each of these activities increases a different social stat in the game, which in turn can be used to unlock new abilities, improve Synergy Ranks, and get access to more items.

Alongside being used to complete different City Life activities, Action Points are also used to advance time between the After School, Evening, and Night sections of the game.

These social activities and the 'slice-of-life' mechanics have long been a fan-favorite aspect of the Persona series, so it's no surprise that they've been included in Persona 5 Phantom X.

A Daily Refresh

Action Points are refreshed each day at 8pm UTC, which works out as 1pm PT, 3pm CT, 4pm ET, 9pm BST, and 10pm CEST. At this time, players will get five more Action Points that they can spend on doing various Social Activities each day. A full breakdown of when 8pm UTC is in different timezones can be seen in the table below.

Players should link their account in Persona 5 Phantom X so they can continue their progress on both PC and smartphone, thanks to the cross-progression system in place.

At the time of writing, I've yet to find another way to get more Action Points in Persona 5 Phantom X beyond waiting for them to refresh each day. I have checked the in-game shop, and this seems to be focused more on the currencies for pulls from different banners.
