The long-awaited release of Phantasy Star Online 2 is finally coming to PC next week in North America. The game will be available exclusively from the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 PCs on May 27th, and for the first time will include cross-platform play with the Xbox One version.
The game has already been officially available since April on console, but this marks its first time on PC in the West. It will feature fully localized text and character voices in English, and "the most-up-to-date balancing and quality-of-life improvements from the Japanese service."
Here's what Fred White, PSO2 Team North America's Head of Marketing had to say:
"We're thrilled to announce the long-awaited arrival on PC. 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."

I am so excited. I put many hours into the original and will be playing this on PC next week. I don't own any xbone but was seriously thinking about getting one to play this in April. I will be playing it on series x though.
"in NA"
Yeah, we waited years and years for this game to come to the UK and when a Western release gets announced it only includes NA. As huge fans of PSO, I can't explain how disappointed our gaming group is/was.
So we've just resorted to downloading the NA version. At least with the upcoming crossplay out entire gaming group can play together so we're excited about that.
I played the original, on Dreamcast, for a ridiculous amount of hours. But I’m not sure if the gameplay in these types of games has held up well after all these years.
