Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis Surpasses 11 Million Registered Users

Developer SEGA today announced that their online action RPG, Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis, has surpassed 11 million registered users. This huge milestone comes 2 years after the global release and follows the game’s latest large-scale update, known as Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis ver.2, which added the Creative Space and a plethora of quality of life improvements to the main experience.

To celebrate, a gift of 100 Star Gems and 10 Special Scratch Tickets will be given away to all players who login. Furthermore, the collaboration event with Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 has also begun, offering a login bonus, a new AC Scratch Ticket and more.

11 million is certainly a huge milestone and I extend my congratulations to the development team for still going strong after two years.

Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is a new MMORPG part of the PSO2 universe but is a brand new adventure offering upgraded visuals and a new narrative, amongst other quality-of-life updates. Set 1,000 years after the events of Phantasy Star Online 2, PSO2: NGS takes place on Halpha, a planet on which ARKS (soldiers of the Oracle colony fleet in the Phantasy Star Online 2 series) are locked in a battle for dominance against the mysterious DOLLS.

PSO2: NGS features new and improved action combat and character customization, allowing for more flexibility and expression than ever before. Choosing from four unique races and eight classes, players can join forces with other operatives to experience unforgettable battles and boss fights in brand new locales, with an emphasis on flowing, flashy mobility to conquer and explore sprawling open environments.

Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store or the Microsoft Store) and PlayStation 4 as a free-to-play game.
