Phantasy Star Online 2 Gets Steam Release Date Alongside Episode 4 Update

Sega announced that their MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2 will launch on Steam alongside the free Episode 4 content update on August 5.

“It is our goal to bring Phantasy Star Online 2 to as many players as we can,” said Fred White, PSO2 TEAM North America’s Head of Marketing. “We have heard the requests for a Steam launch, and we are excited to announce that soon Steam users in 36 countries on six continents will be able to experience PSO2 on their platform of choice, including popular features like Steam Achievements and Remote Play. The Steam Store page for PSO2 opens today. Additionally, all players on PC and Xbox One will be able to start Episode 4 on the same day — August 5th!”

During Phantasy Star Online 2 Episode 4, players awaken from a long sleep, and they find out that an enemy known as The Phantom has appeared, who are essentially fake ARKS members. If that wasn’t hard enough to wake up to, the dimension of Earth has been discovered.

The real ARK members will now be able to unlock a new level cap and explore new locations, Tokyo, and Las Vegas as they continue their adventure to solve the mystery of the black shadow and purge the planet of these fierce enemies.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is available now on Xbox One and PC-via the Microsoft Store.
