Open beta players can carry over their progression into the game, though you must be subscribed to Game Pass to play online.
Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy 14 will release on March 21st for Xbox Series X/S. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can claim the Starter Edition from March 21st to April 19th. Check out the latest trailer below.
Progression carries over into the game from the open beta, but there are some conditions. It’s only open to new players, but they can’t purchase anything from the online store. On the bright side, it includes the base game alongside the Heavensward and Stormbringers expansions.
While the beta doesn’t require Game Pass to play, that isn’t true for the full version. You need to be subscribed to Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Game Pass Core to play it. It’s in stark contrast to the PS4 and PS5 versions, which don’t require PlayStation Plus.
Stay tuned for more details on Final Fantasy 14 this year, especially with its new expansion, Dawntrail, out this Summer. A crossover quest with Final Fantasy 16 is also coming in April.
