FFXIV Japan Fan Fest 2024 Featured(1)

Final Fantasy XIV Xbox Beta to Finally Begin This Winter

Welcome home new friends.

Back in July 2023, fans eager to play Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox were delighted to learn that the MMORPG would be debuting on Xbox Series X|S in the future. During the latest Fan Fest in Tokyo, producer and director, Naoki Yoshida announced that plans are coming along smoothly and that there is a tentative window that they are aiming to hit this winter.

The date that Yoshi-P is hoping for the Final Fantasy XIV Xbox beta to go live is February 21, 2024. Of course, this is an estimated window and is subject to change. Few details were released beyond this, so it is left to speculation as to how the beta will work in practicality. Assumedly, players new to the much-acclaimed MMO will have the opportunity to participate in one, if not the best free trial in all of video game history. On top of this, there is a question regarding license migration for those wanting to play on the new platform. As well as how adding a new platform choice for FFXIV players will potentially further increase the player base.
