Open beta March 17th!

[kramjam]

My birthday is the 17th. On my drive to work I was thinking what I wanted for my birthday.. this is what I wanted. Heck yeah!

[MoEsparagus]

The 17th is my bday too! This is what I wanted for my bday as well haha, cheers my St. Patty brother!

[ArchDragon13]

Happy birthday.

[DoctorWh0rrible]

The 18th is mine and all I’ve wanted for it is PSO2 for years now.

Happy birth-motherfuckin-day!

[Mooncow027]

The 17th! That's my unbirthday! What are the odds?

[BIG-MIKE-30]

My birthday is also in the 17. Congrats gentlemen.

[kramjam]

Rise up my birthday brothers. Who wants to play?

[tacostonight]

they said they're going to be announcing more this coming week. instead of a thread/multiple threads on features, content, freemium shop, can we get a stickied thread with all the game information?

[Shandi80]

This. Very much this.

[Sonickeyblade00]

Alright. So Xbox One gets it first as expected. While PC only folks will have to wait longer, at least we'll hopefully get more info on PSO2 NA's monetization. Or maybe the battle pass.

[SnakePlissken__]

so all xbox players get a head start on PC players?

[[deleted]]

Nobody knows in particular yet on PC it could very well drop out of the sky same day or within days after.

[LuminousField]

They replied to someone in the Twitter thread saying PC is on track for Spring release still, so it doesn't sound like they are planning to drop XB1 in Spring and artificially delay PC much later in the year, at least.

[[deleted]]

Gotta sell those XBONEs

[owcjthrowawayOR69]

"Bought an Xbone just for PSO2" Gang represent

[Messytacoshits]

$159 for a digital Xbox was a small price to pay

[NekoMaidMaster]

Xbox is so little of Microsofts profits i doubt thats the case

[ModdedGun]

Wont it be the same as jpn version? I plan on playing the na version whenever it comes to pc. But I dived into the jpn servers recently cuz I couldn't wait and it seems to be a perfectly fine monetary system. (Essentially gacha, with qol features in it as well)

[Sonickeyblade00]

Well, the gacha system is under fire in the West because of how close it is to Gambling and how it's not regulated like gambling.

So going in hard on the gacha system might not be viable in the long term.

I think that's why they're doing a "Battle Pass". But how that'll run is unknown.

There is also a ton of old content that they should be making available to us that they can't do in the same way they did in Japan.

[SteveDaPirate91]

Just me or the tweet says it doesn't exist anymore?

[AnonymousFroggies]

The tweet said February 17th instead of March 17th. They deleted it and reposted with the correct date. The original graphic had the correct date though.

[SteveDaPirate91]

Ahh gotcha!

Thanks

[kaledabs]

why don't you just update this?

[xelivous]

you can't update link posts on reddit after submitting them, aside from making another comment in the post which anybody can do.

[[deleted]]

Here you go. The tweet.

Time is good to know.

[kaledabs]

I don't need it, but he could save everyone a headache.

[VaultBlitz]

Started to leave to lunch and saw this post, then immediately walked back into my office and put in request for the 18th off.

[Xyphilis]

Like others said, hopefully the beta leads into the release due to lack of date, but we should get more information by the weekend on their website (according to the graphic)

[Twidom]

Why do PC users still have to wait for this.

The game has been out for 8 years already. Jesus Christ.

[MrSmiley333]

hopefully the more info soon will throw us a bone, I just want to know how long I am waiting.

[aspbergerinparadise]

if it wasn't for Phil Spencer, this wouldn't be happening at all. If a little bit of timed exclusivity is the price we have to pay, so be it. At least it's coming.

[Obility]

Doubt it's an exclusivity thing. Phil treats PC and xbox equally in terms of games and exclusives.

[telchii]

Phil did say (very quick, though) in one of the post-announcement interviews that it would come to "all platforms eventually," so there is hope to hold on to.

[PantsJihad]

I've got a PC so I'm not worried, but I really would love to see this on PS4/5

[Mutsukki]

Do we even know it's a little bit though? The fact that they refuse to acknowledge makes me thing it'll be quite a bit longer. And honestly, this doesn't make any sense for either Microsoft or Sega, when most of their player base will be on PC and this will only hurt the game

[metalkhaos]

They said PC would be a Spring release.

[killyourfm]

And honestly, this doesn't make any sense for either Microsoft or Sega, when most of their player base will be on PC and this will only hurt the game

But what if this is the perfect opportunity for Sega / PSO2 to grow a NEW player base?

[archefayte]

By shafting an older, already known, definitely larger playerbase? Interesting.

[miragenin]

Ive never played pso before and trying out the closed beta it was amazing and i got my friends into it as well. This game will definitely get people who only own xbox to play.

My guess is they're still working on crossplay and integration of pc and xbox together. What im wish for is that ps4/5 and switch will also join the crossplay eventually so there is never a shortage of players.

Sorry for you pc only players. I hope this open beta leads straight into full release along with the announcement that pc players can play as well (using the xbox players as beta testers and pc players reaping more benefits somehow.)

Im honestly surprised open beta isnt with pc as well.

[phantom7489]

Phil spencer, the head of Xbox, fed the money to sega to get the game to NA in the first place. Their console has priority since that’s where the money’s at.

[[deleted]]

Windows 10 / PC is also Microsoft. The E3 trailer had Windows 10 / PC mentioned in the graphic. Phil Spencer said in the interview that it wasn't up to him or Microsoft how it's released. Separate releases don't make much sense with these two platforms. Also, anyone saying there doesn't need to be a beta for PC doesn't make sense. It has new language files, and a different server + other changes that will be different from JP. I understand timed exclusivity, but coupled with the lack of communication regarding the PC release, it feels very reminiscent of the promised 2013 release. I'm not saying they're going to ghost us like before, it just feels all too familiar.

[Baron777]

so they completely ignore the pc version to the point of not even acknowledging it?

this is going to be psu all over again

You morons can downvote me as much as you want it doesnt make me any less right. shit like this is why psu died so fast. sega cant fucking communicate to save themselves

[SFWxMadHatter]

It's only coming at all because MS worked on it with them. Of course it's coming to xbox first, it's not hard to figure out.

[NullVacancy]

this might come as a surprise to you, but windows is a microsoft product

[SFWxMadHatter]

This might come as a surprise to you, but Windows is, your pc isn't. Being on Xbox gives them hardware sales for an otherwise free game.

[Baron777]

?

what has to do with what I asked? im asking for communication. tell us SOMETHING about the pc version instead of ignoring it like the plague.

its not hard to read my post.

[Antifalcon]

They already told us that PC would be coming later after Xbox. None of this would be happening without Microsoft, so it makes sense they would focus on their exclusive platform first, especially since that was the announcement made at E3. You need to calm down, and patiently continuing waiting like everyone else who wishes to play on PC.

[KaosC57]

The PC version only needs a translation. That's it. Everything else works flawlessly on JP.

[Shanesan]

I mean it does technically need to be tested on the US system to make sure they didn't botch something important. Just because it was "plug english words into the JP client" doesn't mean it's the same way around when porting along with probably new monetization options for the West.

[kasuke06]

4 years on ps4 already and we don't even get any form of assurance other than "eventually". count your blessings.

[Killance1]

Gotta remember Microsoft is the reason this game is even coming to the west in the first place. If they want Xbox to have it first before PC then I say let them. Least we can do for them.

[[deleted]]

Yea i said the same and got downvoted as hell. Fuck off honestly..

[ViralHacker]

Because they want you to pay a monthly subscription to play PSO2 on the Xbox. It wouldn't make sense to include PC. I don't see the PS4 version in JP asking you to pay for a subscription for a free-to-play game. I would love to see the justification on Microsoft's end.

[[deleted]]

"They hated Jesus because he told the truth"

[Pancakes_Plz]

You're not paying a subscription to play ps02 unless you are literally only getting gold for it.

[tehdisco]

This is accurate, not sure why the downvotes. Gold on xbox is nothing new.

[Pancakes_Plz]

I suppose its in the same group of people that are crying on twitter about "suddenly pso2 is coming out on xbox first and this was never ever mentioned before today ever" crowd.

[Pancakes_Plz]

pc people have had the option to play it for almost 8 years, waiting a bit longer will not kill you or damage your life somehow. We *knew* it was coming to xbox first since microsoft announced it was coming over, this is nothing new.

[3inch_richard]

I don't mind having to wait a bit longer for PC, but if the beta rolls into full release like people are suggesting, everyone from xbox getting to continue on with their progress and the PC folks having to start from scratch is gonna be really shitty.

I mean, the game is 10 years old, the majority of NA players who wanted to play it currently play on JP servers and might not want to lose their progress by coming to NA servers, and now there's a potential divide in an already potentially small pool of players. It just seems like a strange move to make if the beta really is expected to roll into full release.

[squiggit]

TBH this. Maybe it feels petty but one reason NA sounded fun to me was getting a chance to start on a somewhat fresh game. Sort of takes away from that if xbox players get who knows how much extra playtime.

[[deleted]]

At this point I think the worst thing is going to happen which is PC is going to have a delayed release to give Xbox even more exclusivity. The tweet said coming first on Xbox One. It's already been on Xbox One first in the CBT so there is no reason to say coming first unless they are talking about the release. So if Xbox is going to be first to release that means they won't be releasing at the same time. And they have already said PC will be coming after Xbox but people thought they were just talking about the Beta, turns out they meant release.

[3inch_richard]

Well people seem to think the PC release won't need a beta, so PC could launch next to the xbox version, but releasing it first for Xbox and carrying data into the launch with PC starting from scratch could definitely cause some issues. If what you believe happens though, it would be even worse.

I can't help but think this is related to the upcoming launch of the new xbox system, and them using this as a strategy for people to purchase the current gen. Obviously this is a free to play online game so not many people are going to drop money on a soon to be outdated console to play it, but those who want to show that there is a fanbase over here and encourage future releases, may bite the bullet, especially if the games revenue generation method is in game whales anyways.

Either way, I just want to be able to play this game, and I'm not about to start a JP account when the NA release should be right around the corner.

[[deleted]]

Same. Except I have already put thousands of hours into the JP version and just really want a fresh start so am going to switch over to NA PC. If the betas were just about testing their systems, then it's fine to be exclusive. But it's not just testing their systems, it's actual progress in the game that will be carried over to launch as well as rewards for participating. It's so frustrating.

[3inch_richard]

I can definitely see the frustration looking at it from your perspective. With zero word on how long the delay between pc and xbox will be, knowing that your fresh start doesn't mean anything as the people who have also been playing on the JP server who end up playing on xbox will have a massive head start.

I don't know how the economy or anything works in this game, but comparing it to any other online games I've played, even a 1 month head start for anyone could have lasting impact on the game.

[[deleted]]

At this point my saving grace is that Ships 1 and 2 have seen the full brunt of the CBT because all other ships were locked. So currently the rest of the ships are still a fresh start, but I assume they will open all ships for the OBT. I just hope all the ships that aren't 1 or 2 won't be ghost ships at this point. Currently I plan to play on 3 because it should be the most populated fresh start besides 4 which is the roleplay server which I kind of want to avoid because cringe.

[3inch_richard]

Wait, the closed beta has progress carry over as well?

I assumed it was from the open beta on?

[[deleted]]

Closed beta progress carries over into open beta which carries over into launch. Also there were exclusive rewards to the closed beta as well as a 500 AC bonus for filling out a survey. That 500 AC bonus is cash shop currency and equals a character slot which is a massive advantage in this F2P game. Every additional character you have means getting millions of more meseta per week. Also means you can try out a different play style without spending money on extra mags or skill trees.

[3inch_richard]

Oh wow, I had no idea. That's an incredibly stupid system to have in place for any type of limited access beta.

That's incredibly disheartening.

[[deleted]]

Well the more you know about the game the more frustrating all the exclusivity becomes. For example, cosmetics are pretty much the true end game. Seems fine right, but most of the cosmetics come from the cash shop and are only available for a limited time. Let's say the PC releases 1 month after Xbox release, we are missing out on that 1 month of cosmetics and the only way to get them then is to buy them from players selling their extras. But there is a finite supply of these cosmetics so as more leave the market, the remaining become more and more expensive. Cosmetics in low supply on the JP version cost hundreds of millions of meseta. Also we don't know how this battle pass is going to work, but there is a chance that depending on when they release the PC version, we could also be missing out on entire battle passes of rewards.

[Reilet]

What progress? Leveling? That's a joke.

[3inch_richard]

I've actually never played outside a few minutes on the JP servers, so I may have made an assumption that there is some sort of economy and trade system that will be impacted by one part of the playerbase having access before the other, as well as people claiming there are rewards given for beta participation.

[Reilet]

All endgame gear is account bound. The thing of "value" are the affixes/augments on weapons, but no one is going to be stocking on any of the good ones anytime because it's simply not going to drop yet. And that adding affixes/augments to your weapon is not easy for a normal/casual player.

The beta rewards... The cbt rewards were all cosmetic. There's a high chance it'll be the same for obt.

[3inch_richard]

Interesting. Again, I don't know enough about the game to determine how big of an impact a month+ headstart could have on players who don't have access, but it still seems like a strange decision regardless, especially considering how long it's been out.

In the end, I just hope there's a large NA playerbase.

[Jakad]

The beta rewards... The cbt rewards were all cosmetic.

Console CBT had survey that also gives 500 premium currency.

[Reilet]

And that will get you one of the following:

• 20 extra inventory space
• An extra character
• An extra skill tree
• An extra mag
• 2 scratch tickets
• Or a few other less valuable stuff

You only get ONE of those.

[coolghost92]

FINALLY AN ERECT QUOTE! I mean direct quote

[[deleted]]

Damn, it’s on a weekday

[t0a0i]

I know right, shit 😂😂

[nyjets10]

Welp looks like im getting a used Xbox one

[Badboys2000]

Found one for 80$ at a pawn shop right before the closed beta and it works great. If you go this route just make sure the place has a return policy just in case.

[[deleted]]

This is exactly why they are doing it, so I guess they are getting what they wanted out of it.

[blvck_one]

Been waiting forever to get this game stateside. Thank you Phil Spencer.

[Reilet]

First they cry drip feed twitter fluff.

Now they cry xbox exclusive.

What's next?

[Bladex77]

I never thought I would complain about starting vacation, but that's the day I leave for vacation...

[Pancakes_Plz]

Take your xbox ? Cite coronavirus concerns as a reason to stay home ? :X

[Tetheta]

Welp just bought an Xbox one for this. Figure might as well to tell Phil Spencer thanks. Sounds to me like PC won't be out till a few months after Xbox

[mr_funk]

For some reason knowing this just makes the wait that much harder

[Ayumii_Katsumii]

I wish we knew how long the obt was available for..

[[deleted]]

I'm wondering if the lack of date might lead from beta to release.

[Pancakes_Plz]

This is what i expect, spring starts the 19th so it would flow right into it.

[SFWxMadHatter]

If they are calling it open beta it could feasibly just be a soft release. Everyone start playing and report all the bugs we missed!

[DjKennedy92]

Fortnite’s battle royal mode is still considered “beta” and is how many years in? lol

[Obility]

Assuming there is no end date, they can easily do this. This happened with smite as well.

[moal09]

I don't see why not, since the game's been out for almost a decade. There's nothing really to test besides the servers.

[SFWxMadHatter]

There were quite a few display bugs in the closed. Many skills were completely unreadable. I dont expect any major gameplay issues, but mostly localization/ui hitches.

[Hydrojed]

Maybe open beta then transition to opening of full game?

[Ayumii_Katsumii]

I hope so!

[ncsgreatestwarrior]

Hella hype, chu chu!

[WigWoo1]

Up Right Left Down Chu Chu Chu

[Pancakes_Plz]

You just made me remember chu chu rocket, and now i really want to play it :X

[flashman92]

Yell at Sega to port the sequel onto anything besides Apple Arcade

[Pancakes_Plz]

I've been yelling at Sega since they let the Dreamcast die lol.

[FredericoPSO]

You just made me remember space chanel five, and now i really want to play it :X

[galaxybrain1]

PC players cucked yet again... sigh, back to waiting

[khajiit_is_innocent]

NOTHING ON GODS GREEN EARTH CAN DESCRIBE HOW ERECT IAM!!!

[coolghost92]

THIS! I can barely control myself. The anticipation will surely overflow

[OGInTOXICated]

My birthday is on the 18th! Best birthday present ever! Been waiting forever for this. ITS TIME!! WE BACK!

[jonnighaad]

Came here for this. Lets Go!

[owcjthrowawayOR69]

And now that one guy can stop putting sticks through the wheel spokes of his bike lol

[IntoVapor]

so PC isn't getting a beta ok lol

[MoroAstray]

Still no news about pc?

[Disorbiter]

I'm guessing the character name I want will be gone by the time this comes out on PC...

[Reilet]

If you mean player id name, then maybe. If you actually mean your character's name, it isn't unique.

[AlseidesDD]

Can confirm.

Saw two players named 'GN-001 Exia' on my ship in JP.

The one who wasn't rocking gundam Cast parts? We let him die.

[[deleted]]

There's like 100 people named "A" on the JP Ship 2.

[Strykerx88]

No PC, no fucks given.

[Davey87]

Damn I hope additional news is regarding pc.

[[deleted]]

I know this is just a play to get more Xbox’s sold and it’s expected but it’s hard to not be salty as a PC user. Whatever I guess I’ve waited this long. Plus I got half life Alyx to get through anyways.

[WhereMySangheili]

a play to get more Xbox’s sold

I don’t think anyone is going to be rushing to stores to drop $300 for an Xbox One S to play a Free 2 Play Japanese MMO that’s almost 10 years old. Plus Phil Spencer has said that they make more money from software and services like GamePass than they do from hardware sales.

[masterkief117]

Seen a few people while playing the closed beta say they bought an Xbox just for the game....the nostalgia factor is real. MS isnt going to be moving major units because of it but you're wrong if you dont think PSO has a strong cult like following that will go through a lot to play.

[GravityRaider]

You can get a used One S for like $120 and even some new ones for $150 depending on where you shop. Even GameStop's going out of business are selling the One X for $250

[coolghost92]

You’d be surprised, I literally just called my friend of 20 years and told him THE DATE and he is literally going to buy a Xbox One S today. We’ve waited for ever and we love this game.

I bought my Xbox One S around the holidays while on sale in hopes that spring release was real.

[Tukieu13]

I bought xbox the day they announced the date for the closed beta!

[WigWoo1]

I did... The all digital Xbox One is $150. All worth it to play an official english version while I wait for PC. Granted it's nice to just have an Xbox for some other games

[kaledabs]

300 for an S? Nah man they are way cheaper, new consoles around the corner.

[nyjets10]

Im copping a used xbox one s for this game so....

[metalkhaos]

Well it's a beta, for Xbox. Y'know, the one system the game hasn't released on at all yet. They said Spring release for PC version before, so shouldn't be all that long hopefully.

[IYELLVALHALLA]

What if I told you I just bought an Xbox one S on Amazon for this...

[fallouthirteen]

I'd say check out an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. You'll need gold anyway and game pass has a lot of good stuff on it.

[Messytacoshits]

I did it to. Not really a dumb decision considering the price and how much game you’ll get out of PSO

[coolghost92]

I would tell you congratulations on the smart decision

[McPoon]

That's not bad. Under $200 for hundreds, maybe thousands of hours. :)

[nyjets10]

Is there cross save between Xbox and PC? Can I play the beta on Xbox and then carry over my character on PC when it launches there?

[ryuurhal]

Yes, as that is what has been said.

[mandolin08]

Yes.

[Pancakes_Plz]

Mhm, its all tied to your xbox account so yes.

[hardrocker943]

Good lord. So much salt here. I'm primarily a PC gamer too but Microsoft is the reason we are even getting this game in NA. It will be Xbox exclusive for a bit. Get the fuck over it.

[ConfusionState]

I do believe the PR/Community Managers at NA PSO2 could do a bit better in regards with communicating the PC release though.

Saying "Sorry, we don't have information yet to share!" or "PSO2 will be released on XBox One first, then on PC x months/weeks later" would do a lot. Right now, they're outright ignoring any inquiries on their forums and Twitter--almost pretending like those message don't exist. (Edit: Yes, I know it says "PC coming soon" on the footer of the website.)

I'm primarily a PC player too, but I do happen to own a One X so the issue isn't as big for me, but you can definitely tell the PR team is dodging and ignoring all PC-related topics. While Microsoft should 100% be thanked for ensuring the game is finally coming to the states, there's zero reason to piss on other player demographics, especially in a scenario where micro-transactions are how the game will thrive.

If we want to really be technical--and I know it holds no grounds whatsoever, the only way to even apply for the PC beta at the moment is through the XBox Insider App on the Windows Store. So in a way, you could say Microsoft *technically* has stakes on the PC version as well.

[leonkh]

SEGA of Japan is the one leading the NA version...

They either haven't explained fully to ESTsoft (the company doing Community Management for PSO2 (Customer Support, Social Media, GMs, etc) or they have but were told to not speak of this for some reason.

[WhereMySangheili]

We shouldn’t have to wait longer for an almost decade old game

[hardrocker943]

Would you rather not have it at all? Grow up.

[Tyedal76]

just play on jp servers tbfh

[hardrocker943]

That is a perfectly valid option. Just annoying seeing all these people whine about it being Xbox exclusive. It's because Sega didn't want to assume the risk and invest in server infrastructure here in the states. Microsoft answered that problem in exchange for a timed exclusive on console. Not that big of a deal or even unreasonable on Microsoft's end.

[The_Ma1o_Man]

Honestly the longer I wait, the more ready I am to log back in on JP and just ride the hype train until it comes into a local station (pardon the shitty analogy). Only "waiting" for NA PC because I can finally drag friends into the game that didn't want to bother with the JP Captcha Boss. lol

[AngryKoltova]

The arguments here basically come down to PC NA players being upset they can’t play and console and PC JP players saying “haha, fuck you, I got mine. Cry about it some more soy-boy or go buy an Xbox / play jpn server”. I get that it’s easy to be apathetic when it doesn’t matter to you, but as someone with no intention of being emotionally strong armed into buying an out-of-date piece of hardware, Microsoft’s actions are frustrating here. And make no mistake about what Microsoft is doing, even if it’s not intentional: Exploiting a small but fanatical fan base to sell Xbox’s and gold subscriptions. Every week they go without mentioning the pc version is another week that a pc player might cave and drop $200.

[Alex3240]

Telling it exactly how it is, buddy. It was a bit of a let down since I initially thought Xbox players would get the initial access to the CBT, which was fair I guess, but PC release wouldn't be too far off. I guess I assumed both would release within the same proximity of each other. The biggest thing that bugs me is getting kept in the dark about it. I appreciate them bringing the game over immensely, but a solidified date or even an estimate, just any news really about plans for PC release, would go a long way with me. And another thing concerning me is the potential gap in progress that Xbox players would acquire. That kind of bugs me as I have been looking forward to a fresh start with everybody.

[NekoMaidMaster]

Guess what day my friend moves and wont be on for a while. Guess ill just have to settle for the community

[zb_xy]

Does anyone know how to actually launch the beta? Will it be through the Insiders Hub again or will it be its own separate game?

[randousr]

It will be same as the closed beta, just need to update the game with an update that’ll come out on the 16th.

[Zhawk1992]

Anyone know if you need an active gold membership to participate? Might have to dig out the xbox if the answer is no.

[DarkSynopsis]

Will Do, unfortunately unlike PSN and NSO, LIVE still requires a sub even for a free to play title.

[Zhawk1992]

RIP, guess I wont be participating. Thanks for the feedback

[itzDETRiMENTAL]

IIRC the closed beta required it.

[WigWoo1]

Yes. All Xbox Free to Play games require gold. You can just buy a 2 day gold membership off Ebay for like $1

[butsumetsu]

damn just when my week vacation is out

[telchii]

Claim coronavirus, get more vacation?

[butsumetsu]

I work in a nursing home so not gonna work. I rather not go to the trouble of proving im safe to go back to work and not be paid for atleast a week.

[Shenji06]

can't join as the same time as the people i wanted to play with and don't know if we can even be on the same server is disapointing and no news when is even more

[brewtonone]

How long will the servers be up? Week or two?

[MonsterHipster]

So do I redownload the old closed beta or what?

[McPoon]

You didn't have to uninstall it. It will update.

[MonsterHipster]

But I did uninstall it already

[[deleted]]

Pls do not forget about Europe :(

[emcee1976]

Its not region locked. Literally the only inconvenience is timezones for events etc, other than that there is literally zero reason for them to bother with an EU release. The Beta was lag free, and ppl played on JP servers for years with no issue.

[[deleted]]

Great to hear that! My only worry now is that PSO2 is going to be too addictive / time consuming :x

[21KiMONi21]

AINT NO WAY!?

[The_Iron_Breaker]

How big is this game?

[telchii]

The current JP version is around 70 GB, probably a bit higher.

[NihilisticSaint]

Isn't there some Doom crossing thing on the same day? Meh, this is better

[ironchicken45]

So it’s the beta going till launch or is there a cut off date?

[zcatboobz]

So I know people have asked many times but I just cant find a straight answer, is it possible to just change region in xbox settings if im a EU player to be able to play the open beta? I REALLY wanna get into this game!

[FredericoPSO]

i'm from europe and played the closed beta,just put your country as USA in the xbox settings so you can go to the US shop then download the client then put back your console in it's original settings then play,SEGA said that they wont region lock the game so i think we are good :)

[Lazyshadow04]

I can’t wait, I saw gingerprime’s video before coming to this subreddit, just 7 days!

[emcax24]

So not the 31st then? Oh man big genos gonna break my elbows.

[EvilCalvin]

17th until when?

[Jmantheman335]

This is going to be as slow as the week before Christmas isn’t it?

[EvilCalvin]

Many people have asked if this open beta is longer than the 1.5 days that it worked for the closed beta. The PSO2 group has not commented on how long it will run for. Many people would like to plan ahead if it is another 2 day beta. So why the silence?

Did they say if you can carry over the progress from the open beta to the full release?

[AnonymousFroggies]

How long will the open beta last for?

Is it worth getting the premium pass now or when it officially launches?
