The best part is all progress made during the closed beta will be carried across to the final game when it launches this spring. For those who are looking to try out one of Japan’s largest online RPGs, head on over to the Xbox Insider Hub and start pre-downloading the lofty 65GB+ ahead of this Friday.

While the title will be coming to both the Xbox One and Windows 10 this spring, the Phantasy Star Online 2 closed beta is exclusive to the Xbox One. So get three other friends together, choose from one of four unique races and six classes and head out on your galactic adventure.
