Persona 5 Strikers vs Persona 5

Persona 5 Strikers takes place six months after the events of the original Persona 5 and serves as a spin off-sequel to the latter. For those new to the franchise, there was also an enhanced re-release of the Persona 5 game which has been called the 'Persona 5 Royal'. The Persona 5 Royal was released in Japan and it was exclusive to the PS4. Both Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal are essentially the same video games, however, the only difference is that Royal comes loaded with a lot more content than the original title. And considering that Persona 5 Strikers builds up on Persona 5, it is suggested that you play P5 before buying the upcoming game Persona 5 Strikers. It is also worth mentioning that Persona 5 Strikers features a brand new story campaign and that it builds upon the ending of the original Persona 5 game, and not Persona 5 Royal.
