Final Fantasy XIV Open Beta for Xbox Series Now Live

More than a decade after the initial release of Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix has finally launched the open beta today for the Xbox Series platforms.

With the launch of the Final Fantasy XIV open beta for the Xbox Series, players can take advantage of the free trial available for everyone, with more content to come when the full release arrives later this year. New players delving into the open beta for the Xbox platform can carry over their progress to the official release later this year. Unfortunately, long-time players of Final Fantasy XIV who wish to migrate or try out the Xbox version will have to wait for the official release.

Final Fantasy XIV open beta offers a free trial that allows new players to experience gameplay through two expansions.

Final Fantasy XIV is an online MMORPG debuted for PC and PS3 over a decade ago. It is a standalone game that doesn’t require any previous experience with the franchise, making it the perfect entry point. MMORPG fans can expect a world filled with bustling cities, towering forests, and deadly deserts, with a constantly updated and ever-engaging world that takes players to the far reaches of the land—and beyond—with a captivating and ongoing story.

With the free trial now available for new Xbox players, players can experience the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Heavensward and Stormblood expansions up to level 70 without playtime restrictions. Players can expect over 100+ hours worth of content in just these two expansions alone.

Final Fantasy XIV is currently available for PC and PS5. With the upcoming release of Dawntrail worldwide this summer now is the best time to catch up on all the expansions and prepare for Dawntrail’s launch later this year.
