PSO2 on Steam: How to Link your Account
ATTENTION: Do not start Phantasy Star Online 2 on a new platform until you fully understand this account-linking process.
Creating a character/setting up a Player ID on a new platform is irreversible and you will not be able to link your account after the fact.
LINKING YOUR ACCOUNTS
There are two ways to link your Xbox Live and Steam accounts; initiating the process from the Steam platform, or from the Xbox One or Windows 10 platform.
In each case, you’ll begin the process from the platform that you have been using. We’ll outline the process for both.
If you’d like to begin using the Steam platform to play PSO2 and want to link your Xbox One or Windows 10 account:
- From the Support Menu within the Start Menu of the Windows 10 or Xbox One version of PSO2, select the option to issue an account-linking code. This code will expire after 15 minutes.
- After launching PSO2 on the Steam platform, select your Ship and then enter the code from the previous step. Please be careful: you can only use this code when setting up your account on a new platform for the first time. Do not create a new character/set up a Player ID before linking your account.
- Success! The operative can now play using the same PSO2 save data on either their Xbox Live or Steam Account ID.
If you’d like to begin using the Xbox One or Windows 10 platform to play PSO2 and want to link your Steam account:
- From the Support Menu within the Start Menu of the Steam platform of PSO2, select the option to issue an account-linking code. This code will expire after 15 minutes.
- After launching PSO2 on Windows 10 or Xbox One, select your Ship and then enter the code from the previous step. Please be careful: you can only use this code when setting up your account on a new platform for the first time. Do not create a new character/set up a Player ID before linking your account.
- Success! The operative can now play using the same PSO2 save data on either their Xbox Live or Steam account.
*Entering the account-linking code is only possible during the first-time log-in when using the new platform.
**The same account-linking code cannot be used more than twice.
***If the first account-linking code is not used, and a new one is issued, only the newest account-linking code will be active.
****If a user inputs the account-linking code incorrectly, 10 times in a row, after the 10th time the user will not be able to link accounts until 24 hours have passed. This measure is for the safety of your account.
