Final Fantasy 14 Will Usher in New Era Coming to Xbox Finally

The long running MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 has been only available in the past on Playstation and PC. That’s all about to change as the announcement came at FF14 Fan Fest that the game would be coming to Xbox Series X|S in Spring 2024. This is ahead of the upcoming expansion Dawntrail.

What also makes this news sweeter is that the free trial is also getting an update. This will now extend up to the the Stormblood expansion with level 70. Since the MMO requires you to play through previous content, that’s quite a generous amount of free content to access. Of course the free trial does have some limitations on interactions and level cap, but that’s not bad considering.
