Phantasy Star Online 2 coming to Steam August 5 with cross-platform co-op

When SEGA’s Phantasy Star Online 2 launched on the Windows 10 Store on May 27, fan excitement was quickly tempered with disappointment over numerous technical issues. Some issues resulted from players having originally disabled or changed Xbox settings during their Windows installations, but others seem to have resulted from an extremely buggy installer. These issues necessitated the popular use of the fan-made PSO2 Tweaker tool, but even that tool couldn’t solve many users’ problems.

Phantasy Star Online 2 officially comes to PC on May 27

The wait for Phantasy Star Online 2 has been a long one, depending on a gamer’s platform of choice.

PC gamers will soon be able to get in on the Japanese-style MMORPG action, as Sega has officially announced that Phantasy Star Online 2 launches on Windows 10 on May 27.

An MMO that's 7 years old will still hold up, right?

Phantasy Star Online 2 Will Be Released Outside of Japan Next Year

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... remember seven years ago when Sega said they'd bring their action-RPG MMO Phantasy Star Online 2 to the U.S.? Well, guess what?! They were telling the truth! ... Eventually! Amid all the other news coming out last week during E3 2019, the one bit that was perhaps the most surprising was that this F2P game would be making its way to the Xbox One and Windows 10 sometime "Spring 2020."

Phantasy Star Online 2 to Bring Monster Hunting to North America and Europe

Phantasy Star Online was probably the first online multiplayer action-RPG for consoles. Thousands of SEGA Dreamcast and GameCube players enjoyed teaming up as hunters on the harsh alien planet of Ragol. Phantasy Star Universe, Zero, and Portable have since followed, but a true sequel has long remained as elusive as a blue rappy... Until now. SEGA has officially confirmed Phantasy Star Online 2 will see a western release! Several variables - such as whether both the PC and Vita versions will be brought over - remain unknown, but we do have an announcement trailer and screenshots to share with you today.

Come for the co-op, stay for the rappies.

Phantasy Star Online 2 Coming to Vita, Will Suck Hours of Your Life Away

The Playstation Portable Phantasy Star Portable games were pretty great, but multiplayer was restricted to local wireless, making it difficult for most of us to enjoy co-op questing together. Besides, they were based on Phantasy Star Universe, and everybody who's anybody likes the original Phantasy Star Online better. Good news for the cool kids then, because not only is SEGA making a real Phantasy Star Online 2, but it's coming to the Playstation Vita!
