While it’s been frustrating for Sega fans to wait for the game to arrive in the West, there are advantages to the delay. The free-to-play game has been running successfully for years in Japan. PSO2 will only be available from the Microsoft Store at launch, although rumors suggest that it may eventually come to Steam as well. While Sega had confirmed that the game would reach PC in May, it’s taken until now for the company to set a firm release date. Phantasy Star Online 2 officially left open beta on Xbox One back in April. None other than Hatsune Miku, the fictional singer, will appear in the game as part of an ongoing collaboration.
What’s more, a famous Japanese idol is gracing the game with her presence. After a lot of rumor and speculation, Sega has confirmed that popular sci-fi fantasy MMO Phantasy Star Online 2 will finally debut on PC in North America on May 27.
