During today’s Xbox Partner Preview, Final Fantasy XIV was given an official release date for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. On March 21, 2024, the full release will become available on the platform, following an actively running open beta that kicked off last month.

Those subscribed to Xbox Game Pass, particularly the Ultimate Tier, will be able to claim the Starter Edition for free (note that this is the same content available in the free trial on other platforms) and includes the base A Realm Reborn content as well as the Heavensward and Stormblood expansions.

Looking to what’s new and upcoming in Final Fantasy XIV, the game is currently running a Moogle Treasure Trove event where you can collect tomestones for exclusive rewards for a limited time by fulfilling certain (and now a greater number) of objectives. This runs through March 11, 2024.

Those who missed out on the Final Fantasy XV collaboration event A Nocturne for Heroes can participate in a rerun continuing through March 13, 2024. In this event you’ll team up with the Lucian prince himself: Noctis Lucis Caelum. Rewards for completing it are a four-seater Regalia mount, Noctis’ princely attire and hairstyle, as well as orchestrion rolls featuring music from the game’s soundtrack.

Square Enix will also be holding a panel at PAX East featuring Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy XVI. The FFXIV panel, airing March 23, 2024 at 9:00am Pacific, is titlted “Journey to Dawntrail” ahead of the upcoming Dawntrail expansion – for which the team teased there will be new information to share.

They’ll also be holding a FFXVI panel the previous day, March 22 at 8:30 Pacific, to talk about the game’s upcoming expansion The Rising Tide. It’s here we may get new details about the collaboration event to be held in April. During this event players will team up with protagonist Clive Rosfield and earn rewards such as a Torgal mount and minion, as well as Clive’s outfit.

Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail, the newest expansion, is set to release in Summer 2024.
