Final Fantasy 14 will finally find its way to Xbox Series X/S console players’ game displays in Spring 2024, after a long wait. This thrilling announcement brings to an end years of expectation and longing from committed followers who have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Square Enix’s choice to bring the enormously successful MMORPG on Xbox underlines the game developer’s strong and thriving partnership with the gaming behemoth, Xbox.
A History of Exclusivity
Final Fantasy 14 was first launched as an exclusive title for the PlayStation 3 system in 2013, and has since been ported to the PS4 and PS5 consoles. Xbox fans, on the other hand, were left out in the cold, impatiently awaiting their time to enter the world of Final Fantasy 14. While other mainstream Final Fantasy games made their way to Xbox, this one seems to avoid its devoted Xbox audience.
The Long-Awaited News
For quite some time, rumors of an Xbox adaptation have circulated, though Square Enix officially denied any ambitions to bring the MMORPG to Microsoft’s systems. Despite the pessimism, good conversations were eventually uncovered, providing Xbox lovers with a ray of optimism. Finally, the long and patient wait is over, as Microsoft’s relentless efforts have paid off, and Final Fantasy 14 will be available on Xbox Series X and S consoles in Spring 2024.

An Exciting Fan Fest Reveal
During the thrilling Final Fantasy 14 Fan Fest event, a historic announcement was made, with Xbox CEO Phil Spencer making a surprise appearance. As part of the next release, an open beta for the Xbox version will be held at patch 6.5, prior to the launch in Spring 2024. Fans may expect improved features on the Xbox version, such as “faster loading” and 4K support, to provide an immersive gaming experience. Final Fantasy 14 for Xbox will retain the same spirit as its predecessors on other platforms, letting gamers enjoy the same enthralling adventures.
A Strong Bond between Xbox and Square Enix
The release of Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox not only signifies a watershed moment for fans, but it also reflects a strong partnership between Xbox and Square Enix. Recent changes may have alarmed fans, with main series Final Fantasy titles leaving Xbox Game Pass for PS Plus and Final Fantasy 16 being exclusive to the PS5. The release of Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox, on the other hand, demonstrates that the partnership between Xbox and Square Enix is robust and beneficial, and any exclusive arrangements were negotiated for strategic reasons rather than owing to any tensions between the two corporations.
A Complete Experience on Xbox
With the release of Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox, fans can look forward to a full gaming experience that includes all of the content and expansions available on other platforms. This implies that Xbox gamers will be able to explore the main game as well as all of the key expansions that have been published over the years. They may also look forward to the next Dawntrail expansion, which is planned to open in summer 2024 and promises even more interesting missions and experiences.

Final Fantasy 14’s Xbox Series X edition, which is now accessible for PC, PS4, and PS5, will soon complete the circle of platforms where this enormous MMORPG may be enjoyed. Spring 2024 will definitely be an exciting moment for Xbox gamers as they finally enter the wide and magical world of Final Fantasy 14, going on adventurous adventures with other platforms’ players.
