The Persistence is a 2018 virtual reality survival horror video game developed and published by Firesprite for the PlayStation 4. It was originally released for the system's virtual reality headset PlayStation VR. A version with support for conventional controls was released for Windows, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One in May 2020; an Enhanced version of the game was released for Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S in June 2021. It is the only game developed by Firesprite to appear on Nintendo and Xbox consoles, as the studio was closely associated with Sony Interactive Entertainment, who later acquired the studio as part of PlayStation Studios.
