Now, Sega have announced that PSO2 is coming to a little platform called Steam - and as is the done thing these days, is arriving with a heap of crossover cosmetics with Valve’s catalogue. Swapping out your sci-fi rifles for the Heavy’s minigun or lettingPortal 2’s Wheatley follow you about is fun enough, sure, but there’s something deeply strange with PSO2’s anime reimaginings of Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance.
PSO2’s Steam launch coincides with Episode 4 update for North American players, an arc that pitches the idea that real-world people can cross over into the world of the game (sorry, Europe, no word on when we’re getting our turn). A spokesperson for Sega also told USGamer that progress will carry over for existing Windows and Xbox players, with full cross-play and cross-progression between platforms.
From the looks of things, it also looks like Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis will be heading to Steam. Announced during Xbox’s NotE3 show, New Genesis isdefinitely a standalone new gamethat completely overhauls PSO2’s visuals and mechanics with a lush new open-world map.
Phantasy Star Online 2 will be free-to-play when it launches onSteamon August 5th.
