Important Information About the First Closed Beta
The first Phantasy Star Online 2 Xbox One closed beta is going to start Friday, Feb 7 at 5:00PM P.T. and will end on Saturday, Feb 8 at 11:59PM P.T., so you have a limited time to be able to play and also complete a few special objectives for some bonus content.
