Fans of the iconic MMORPG, Final Fantasy 14 Online, can rejoice as the game is soon making its debut on the Xbox Series X|S platforms. Square Enix, the game’s developer, has been working towards expanding the reach of the beloved title and has now locked in a release date for the console version.
Following a period of anticipation and an open beta phase for the Xbox Series X and S, it has been confirmed that Final Fantasy 14 Online is scheduled to arrive on Xbox consoles on March 21st. The title, which has garnered a massive player base since its release in 2010, is set to expand its audience further with this new platform addition.
The news arrived as part of the Xbox Partner Preview’s March update and comes as a significant update for fans of the series, traditionally accustomed to playing on PlayStation and PC. Microsoft has taken a step to embrace new players by offering the game’s starter edition at no additional cost to Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, a limited-time promotion that runs from the title’s release date until April 19th. This starter edition includes all the content of the regular free trial but without the level and currency restrictions.
Prior to the full release, existing and new players can engage in the Final Fantasy 14 Online open beta on the Xbox Series X and S which began on February 21st. This beta phase provides access to the main game, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, as well as its first two expansions: Heavensward and Stormblood. The open beta supports play up to level 70 without any time limitations, giving players a substantial look at the game’s content.
The upcoming Xbox release offers a new opportunity for console gamers to dive into the rich and expansive world of Final Fantasy 14 Online. As the excitement builds, players might also be interested in the current market availability of the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, with the former priced at around $486 and the latter at approximately $269 on major retail platforms such as Amazon.
With this new addition to the Xbox lineup, Final Fantasy 14 Online is set to enchant a fresh wave of adventurers eager to explore its dynamic realms and engaging storylines.
