PSO2 Cloud Limitations

The April 4th update introduces a new block-type known as [Cloud Shared] blocks. This block-type will allow Nintendo Switch and PC users to interact and go on quests together! Unfortunately, users of the PlayStation 4 or Vita platforms will not be permitted to play with their Nintendo brethren.

 

Cross Platform Restrictions

Cross Platform Restrictions
Regular Ship [1 ~ 10] : Cloud Blocks:	PC & Switch Users Only

 

Cross Platform Restrictions
Shared Ship: Cloud Challenge Blocks:	PC & Switch Users Only
Shared Ship: Cloud Battle Blocks:	Switch Users Only

 

Community Limitations

PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 users will only be able to meet up with Nintendo Switch players through [My Room] or [Team Rooms]. Even under these circumstances, they will not be able to chat with one another.

PC players, on the other hand, will not be subject to such restrictions.

 

Concurrent Connections

The Cloud Servers have a limit on the number of concurrent players that can connect. The development team believes that they have provided enough servers to ensure that this limit will not be reached. However, if the number of concurrent connections exceeds this limit, then you may not be able to log into PSO2 Cloud.

 

Unavailable Music

There are a small fraction of collaboration-related music discs that can not be played on the Nintendo Switch. You will be able to check if an item falls under this restriction through the Jukebox and from a note in the item's explanation.

 

Automatic Logout

In order to reduce the load on the servers, players will be automatically disconnected from the game after 30 minutes of inactivity. A warning message will be displayed prior to the impending connection loss.

Welcome to PSO2 Cloud

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.

 

PSO2 Cloud Requirements

PSO2 Cloud is an online game streaming through the cloud gaming servers. Due to these circumstances, the following items are required:

 

SEGA ID

A SEGA ID is required to sign into the PSO2 servers. Please take the time now to register a SEGA ID before the service launches.

 

Internet Connection

Since Phantasy Star Online 2 Cloud utilizes a high-speed broadband connection, Sega requires the following devices:

Connectivity Requirements (A) or (B)

• (A) Wi-Fi 802.11ac 5GHz
• (B) Broadband Compatible Wired LAN Adapter.

Suggested Wireless Devices

• Buffalo WSR-1166DHP3 Series
• Elecom WRC-2533GST
• I-O DATA WN-AX1167GR2

 

Disk Space

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.

 

PSO2 Cloud Limitations

PSO2 Cloud users will have restrictions in Cross Platform gaming. More details can be found at the [PSO2 Cloud Limitations] post.

 

Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild × PSO2

Playing the Nintendo Switch version allows you to obtain exclusive items such as Link's hairstyle, costume, Master Sword weapon camo, and Hylian shield accessory!
