It hits Steam on August 5
The time has finally come forPhantasy Star Online 2to be free of the Windows launcher and arrive on Steam. When that day arrives (August 5, by the way!), it’ll bear some gifts for Steam users.
According to the officialPSO2blog, Sega is rolling out rewards for folks who log in on Steam. All you have to do is log into the game near the release date to grab the Headcrab Emote fromHalf-Life, as well as a number of booster items. If you finish any quest once on normal or casual difficulty (or higher), you’ll get the Pyro’s gas mask fromTeam Fortress 2, as well as the Alyx hairstyle fromHalf-Life Alyx.
For finishing any quest on hard/hardcore difficulty, you’ll get a Wheatley evolution device, as well as aLeft 4 Deadfrying pan, aTeam Fortress 2minigun and aHalf-Lifecrowbar. Continuing on (haha, this list is actually pretty great), for completing any quest on very hard difficulty or higher, you’ll get aHalf-LifeHEV suit, and completing any quest for times on super hard difficulty will net you an Alyx replica outfit fromHalf-Life Alyx. Phew!
As a reminder, the game is cross-play and will offer cross-progress with the Steam edition. So you really have nothing to lose if you want to go for broke and grab these items: just know that in typicalPSO2fashion, they’ll be “distributed at a later date.” Good luck!
