![]() We will have more information about the regions where the game will become available in the near future. We are also working hard to introduce this legendary online action RPG to a global audience this year. Presumably this means Steam, as it was mentioned in a manual for the game during the beta but there’s every chance it could also mean the Epic Games Store. ![]() There also seems to be some reprieve on the way for those who can’t stand the Microsoft Store, as the blog notes that “more PC platforms” are coming soon. That, and the game is technically only available in North America right now and on the Windows Store, which has rendered the game’s launch a bit of a mess for many, who’ve had to deal with a slew of bizarre installation issues.Īpparently that’s all set to change SEGA is aiming to get the game “to reach parity with the Japanese servers eventually, with simultaneous releases moving forward to ensure that both services deliver the best experience possible to our players.” As the above visual shows, the aim to have that parity reached before the year is over which is great, and there’s a lot of excellent features in the later episodes! SEGA has detailed what exactly their plans are for Phantasy Star Online 2’s Western release over the coming months, in a hefty content roadmap.Ĭurrently, only content up to Episode 3 of the game is available for Western players, whereas Japan is currently on Episode 6. You can check out the full Steam announcement blogpost here. Going off previous blogposts, it’s a safe assumption that Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, the upcoming overhaul of the game, will also land on Steam at some point next year – though whether it’ll have timed exclusivity to Microsoft again remains to be seen. PSO2’s PC launch was mired in technical issues, so hopefully the Steam launch will mark the end to that. This isn’t wholly surprising, but it’s weird to see Gordon Freeman in PSO2 nonetheless. You’ll be able to get your hands on gear inspired by Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2 and Portal 2 as part of the game’s Steam launch. The best part of this announcement however, is probably the new items announced to commemorate the launch. We don’t have a full list of who can and can’t access it right now, but we at least know that the UK is good to go, and the Netherlands are sadly out of luck as the page simply won’t load in that region. This also seemingly marks the official European release of the game, as the Steam page is available in select European territories. It’s also been confirmed the game will support crossplay and cross-progress with other versions of the game, and that the Steam version will drop alongside the Episode 4 content update. Phantasy Star Online 2’s PC exclusivity to the Microsoft Store is coming to an end, as the game will be launching on Steam as soon as next week, August 5th.
