Renowned MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game)Final Fantasy14will be officially arriving on Xbox this month.
Though the beloved fantasy MMO has been inopen beta for a while nowfor users on Xbox Series X|S, Square Enix has given us a date for the title’s official launch onMicrosoft’s console platforms.
Final Fantasy 14will be available on Xbox Series X|S from March 21. What’s more, a starter edition of the MMO will be available through Game Pass Ultimate. This perk can be claimed between March 21 and April 19.
However, aswe reported back in February,Final Fantasy 14will require anXbox Game PassCore or Ultimate subscription in addition to a subscription to the game proper. WhileFinal Fantasy 14is one of thebest MMORPGsout there at the moment, we can’t help but feel that this is a little steep for those who aren’t alreadyXbox Game Passsubscribers.
Xbox made the announcement as part of yesterday’sXbox Partner Preview, using the opportunity to dropa trailer for the MMORPG. You can see it for yourself below.
