Phantasy Star Online 2 PC, Vita, iOS and Android Versions Will Be Free to Play!

Yesterday Sega announced it’s final pricing scheme for PSO F2P.  The classic groundbreaking console MMO is going to a free to play/freemium model with PC shipping this Summer, smartphone version this Winter and finally the PSVita version coming out in Spring of 2013.

The game offers classic PSO gameplay spread over the different platforms. PC and VITA will be fully crossplatform while the iOS and Android version will just share data, what that specifically means I do not know.

A closed beta test begins at the end of April, which Sega hopes to have pushed out to 100,000 players. This will test their servers and their transaction system for premium items.

Color me excited as I have FOND memories of playing PSO way back on the Dreamcast and actually putting my Gamecube Broadband Adapter to use. See everyone online this Summer.

If you want to sign-up for the beta, and can read Japanese check out their site HERE.
