• Client: ver. 4.0601.0
• Patch Size: 2.8 GB (PC) / xx (PS4) / 10GB (Vita)

Attention All Vita Players

The November 24th patch is expected to take up 10GBs of space due to the reconstruction of data from Ver. 1.01 through Ver 4.24. Players who've applied patches from previous updates may find themselves with insufficient space with the upcoming update. To workaround this issue, it is suggested to completely delete the entire PSO2 application, and reinstall the game from the PlayStation Store.
