Phantasy Star Online 2 for Xbox One now available, PC version coming in May

After a few short weeks in open beta, Phantasy Star Online 2 is now officially launching on Xbox One in North America. The Game is free to play, and can now be downloaded directly on the Microsoft Store. SEGA has also announced that the PC version of the game, which did not have a closed or open beta, will be launching late May, exclusively in the Microsoft store.
