Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox - The Countdown to Open Beta

Final Fantasy XIV, the popular MMORPG, is gearing up for its Open Beta phase for Xbox X|S, set to begin on February 21st. This marks a significant milestone for the player community and provides Xbox gamers with their first opportunity to dive into the world of Eorzea.

In order to participate in the Open Beta, players must ensure that the multiplayer game permissions are enabled, download the free trial version of FFXIV from the Microsoft Store, and start the game promptly at 3:00 AM EST. An official end date for the Beta phase has not yet been announced; however, it will be determined after thorough evaluation.

The Open Beta is exclusively for new FFXIV players, which means that existing accounts or players who have already played a free trial version cannot participate. However, they will be welcomed when the game is fully released on the console.

The Beta phase is subject to the known limitations of the free trial version, but it provides access to the full game up until the Stormblood expansion. This gives Xbox players a wonderful opportunity to experience the rich world and immersive stories of FFXIV while they await the full release. With just a few weeks left until the start, get ready to become part of one of the most captivating MMORPGs of our time.
