As it is to be expected from a long-running game that was released in 2012, Phantasy Star Online 2 has grown quite a bit through the years. Sega has added tons of new content and some of it is already available in the North American version right from the start. PC and Xbox One players are getting three years of additional content right off the bat, so this should take its toll on the hard disk space, right?

The Phantasy Star Online 2 download size is 11 GB, but that's just the beginning. This initial download is followed by another larger download as soon as you run the PSO2 launcher. The extra files are required to run the game, and depending on your Internet speed this process may take nearly an hour at the very least.

The Phantasy Star Online 2 install size at launch is 68 GB for PC, and 72 GB for Xbox One. Keep in mind that every subsequent patch and content update is bound to increase those figures, so make sure that you installed the game in a disk or partition that has a few GB to spare.

If you're wondering about the Phantasy Star Online 2 release date in North America, here are the facts. PSO2 launched for Xbox One on April 14, 2020, while the Windows PC version was released in May 27, 2020.
