Despite already being available on the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita in Japan, there was no mention of Phantasy Star Online 2 coming to Sony’s system when it was announced during Microsoft’s press conference at E3 2019. Turns out, however, that this may be a timed exclusive – at least, that’s what Xbox boss Phil Spencer suggested on the Giant Bombcast.
“Yes, it will end up on all platforms,” he told legendary host Jeff Gerstmann. “The point was to have SEGA on our stage since it’s been a while.”
Exactly when it will come to the PS4 remains unclear, but it looks like it will support cross-play with the Xbox One and PC when it eventually does arrive. We wouldn’t bank on the PS Vita version making its way overseas, and there are still questions over whether the MMORPG will even launch in Europe – but it’s good news for PlayStation owners in North America at least.

Not all Continents why not it better Come To Antarctica They along with Africa always get the short end of the stick
@Areus Antarctica has what? 100 population at most all of which being various scientists?
@TowaHerschel7 They play Video games to mostly for Research Purposes lol
Yeah why would you want to make money on all the continents.... 😐
I'd love to have it on Switch. Make it happen SEGA, I've been waiting a freaking eternity for this damn game!
PSO2 to Europe on PS4 would be the dream. There's hope now.
This announcement seems to have backfired in my eyes. Announcing it on Microsofts stage just brought up questions of whether its coming to PS4 and then the whole America thing is just baffling, so much confusion around it no one comes off well.
@SegaBlueSky That would be good, they should also put the AGES games back on Playstation as well. Europe liked SEGA back in the day, so why stuff like Virtua Racing is a Switch exclusive is a mystery to me...
This game has been coming to Europe and Us for years now I'd just give up on it, Sega have been lazy porting this across in the Dreamcast and GameCube versions it was one of the best games going back in the day. The one for Xbox 360 didn't do well but they could have released this year's ago
I really wanted it to be localised, 5 years ago...but I'd still play it, it's free...
so another game MS pretended was exclusive but wasn't
i really wish companies wouldn't do that, if it's multiplatform then say it is don't pretend like your system is the ONLY place you can get it (and i say this to Sony and Nintendo too)
I've been waiting so long for this game, but I hope it's not 'too old' at this point.
