Tweaker Configuration (2024)

Enabling Developer Mode

As a reminder, you will need to enable Developer mode in Windows 10 to continue - This is required to link the game to the Microsoft store in later steps.There's a guide on how to do it here.The Microsoft Store version of the game will not work without this!

Launching the Tweaker

You may now play the game as is by clicking on "Start PSO2". \o/ However, there are more features that the PSO2 Tweaker that you can enable and install. If you wish to configure your graphics settings, keep reading!

Also, if you'd like to use my friend referral code, that'd be awesome! It allows you (and me) to earn unique rewards for leveling up! My player ID is 10003082 and will work on any ship, since I have a character on all of them. Thank you!
