Subaru and Emilia's costumes and accessories can be obtained as well!
Phantasy Star Online 2 is releasing on the Nintendo Switch on April 4th! Unlike other platforms, this version of the game allows you to instantly play without having to download those notorious gigantic updates! To get started on your journey, you'll need to download a 40MB cloud application.
Shared Game Data
Your progress from each version is shared among all platforms. Switch players can sign into PSO2 Cloud using the same SEGA ID from the other versions.
Multiplayer Capable
Phantasy Star Online 2 Cloud allows you to play with up to 12 players. You can even go questing with allies from the PC version.

Phantasy Star Online 2 Cloud requires 40 MB of space in order to play.
Cloud Gaming Service
Similar to popular streaming services, PSO2 Cloud captures your character’s input and transmits that data to the Cloud. The results are then displayed on the Nintendo Switch, allowing you to play the game in real-time. Graphics and other game intensive data are handled by the Cloud, making downloading and updating no longer necessary.
Due to the nature of the cloud gaming service, the game will be set to 30 fps, and the player might experience delays based on the status of the internet connection.
