It's been a long time coming, but Phantasy Star Online 2 is now officially available for PC in North America! The game went live on the Microsoft Store earlier today, and can be downloaded for free.
The game has already been officially available since April on Xbox One, but this marks its first time on PC outside of Asia. It features fully localized text and character voices in English, and "the most-up-to-date balancing and quality-of-life improvements from the Japanese service."
Furthermore, Phantasy Star Online 2 for PC features cross-play with the Xbox One version, which is certainly a nice touch! Now, we just need the game to release in more countries across the world...
With its revolutionary gameplay features, such as endless adventures, Hybrid Custom Action, and unprecedented character customization, this is an RPG that will surpass all your expectations.

I may give this a whirl. I played the original PSO on Dreamcast and really didn't like it.
I wish PSO would return to it's classic JRPG roots.
Still, I guess it wouldn't hurt to see how things have progressed - despite the fact I am not a big MMO guy.
It's quite puzzling how this game doesn't get released worldwide on any platform.
@gingataisen We're lucky they made an English version at all at this point. Sega have been pretty bad at being a publisher for a long time.
Regardless, I've shown my gaming group how easy it is to get the US game on our systems.
Go in to your xbox settings. Change location to United States. Search Phantasy Star on store. Download game. Swap location back to UK. You're done.
All our xbox guys have been playing for about a week and our PC guys having been downloading it today. With any luck it will have been worth the 8 year wait.

Very proactive of you. Well done.
