Phantasy Star Online 2 finally made its official way west, after many years of hopeful waiting from its fans. The Xbox One version of the game already managed to release last month, but now it's time for PC players to get on the action too, since SEGA has just announced the launch date for the platform. On May 27th, Phantasy Star Online 2 will head to the Windows 10 Microsoft Store as an exclusive for PC. While there was a Steam version planned at some point, there's been no word on when or if the game is still planned for that launcher. This release features both text and voice acting in English, with four races and nine different classes to choose from. For Xbox One players, a crossover event with the Hatsune Miku series will be taking place starting today.

ARKS (soldiers of the Oracle colony fleet in the Phantasy Star Online 2 series) are invited to join together online to explore numerous worlds with friends and experience PSO2's unparalleled action combat and character customization. Choosing from four unique races and nine classes, players can join forces with up to eleven other operatives at a time to experience unforgettable battles and boss fights.

"We're thrilled to announce the long-awaited arrival on PC," said Fred White, PSO2 TEAM North America's Head of Marketing. "There's a loud and passionate PC fanbase who has been patiently waiting for the North American version – we can't wait to welcome them in. There will be login bonuses waiting for them with more surprises planned in the coming months."

The North American version of Phantasy Star Online 2 includes fully localized text and character voices in English, spanning three years of content. In addition to the immersive original PSO2 story, the NA version also features the most-up-to-date balancing and quality-of-life improvements from the Japanese service. Players can choose from four races and nine classes while tackling various missions. They can also take a break from questing by playing one of the many Casino mini-games, chilling in the Alliance Quarters, competing in the new ARKS League or attending all-new live stage events. And for the first time they will be able to do all of this with friends on both PC and Xbox One thanks to cross-platform play.

SEGA also announced Phantasy Star Online 2's first in-game collaboration to come to North America – Hatsune Miku! Special items are available starting today on Xbox One in the Scratch Ticket Terminal. Players can use Arks Cash Scratch Tickets to get stylish clothing and accessories. This AC Scratch features collaboration items from Hatsune Miku, Megurine Luka, as well as Kagamine Rin & Len. Represent at the main stage like never before with these unique outfits and get ready for the vocaloid performance of a lifetime!

PSO was the first game that introduced me to MMORPGs...and i can't wait to play PSO2 when it comes to pc..this one is a very special game to me :)
It's been out on PC for quite a while now bro, though you'll want to download "PSO2 Tweaker" in order to have an easier time installing it/modifying settings. Launch was initially a shitshow thanks to the Win10 app store.

Just a pre warning tho the economy is pretty jacked up so market prices on cosmetics will be super high. Will be best to lvl up 3 characters to 50 to gain more ingame currency. You get 3 free character slots just make sure all 3 are on the same ship to combine your currency{mesetta}
