In an online mix-up, Xbox Wire mistakenly announced the launch of Final Fantasy XIV Online's open beta on Xbox Series X/S before promptly retracting the post. Players were initially excited by the news which stated the open beta would support 4K resolution and allow progress to carry over to the full game. However, the removal of the post led to confusion within the gaming community. Final Fantasy XIV, a prominent MMORPG with multiple expansions, is expected to release its fifth expansion, "Dawntrail," in Summer 2024. The arrival of Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox marks its debut on the platform, having previously been available on PS3, Windows, PS4, macOS, and PS5 since its initial release in 2013.

When is Final Fantasy XIV Online's open beta actually going live on Xbox?

The official date for the Final Fantasy XIV Online open beta on Xbox has not been announced yet. Xbox Wire will provide the correct release date when it is made available. Fans are advised to stay tuned for further updates.

Final Fantasy XIV Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Square Enix. Since its problematic initial release in 2010, which led to a complete overhaul and re-release as "A Realm Reborn" in 2013, the game has flourished, boasting a vibrant community and critical acclaim. Stories in the game are known for their depth and engagement, and the expansive world of Eorzea provides players with numerous quests, dungeons, and raids. Regular updates and expansions like "Heavensward," "Stormblood," "Shadowbringers," and "Endwalker" have significantly extended the game's content and player base.
