Now, based on a comment made by Phil Spencer during an <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7w-Ifxmqd5c\">interview<\/a> on Giant Bombcast, it has seemingly been confirmed the game will be a timed-exclusive.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the Head of Xbox had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYes, it will end up on all platforms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Phil said the main reason the announcement was made at the Xbox conference was to show the good relations between the two companies:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The point was to have SEGA on our stage since it\u2019s been a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The good news for Switch owners here in the west is the cloud version of the game has already been released in Japan on Nintendo&#8217;s hybrid device. So, if what Phil says is true (which seems incredibly likely, given his position), there&#8217;s a chance we could be playing a local version of Phantasy Star Online 2 on the Switch in the near future. It is, however, worth pointing out that the game has only been confirmed for North America at this point in time.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=X7aNatPKWRY?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1&#038;w=900&#038;h=507]<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>Is this a Sega title you would like to play on your Nintendo Switch?
