After a decade of PlayStation console exclusivity stretching back to the PlayStation 3, Final Fantasy XIV has finally launched on an Xbox platform.
The launch comes after weeks of beta on the platform, with today being the big day many new players entered Eorzea. It comes at a great time too, as Final Fantasy XIV is heading into its Dawntrail expansion sometime this summer, giving Xbox players a chance to catch up on the award-winning MMORPG in the meantime.
Today is the day! 🥳
The Xbox Series X|S version of #FFXIV is now LIVE! 🙌
Once again, a very warm welcome to Eorzea, @Xbox! 💚

One benefit of having the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate sub is that, for a limited time, subscribers can snag the Final Fantasy XIV Starter Edition, which includes A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, and Stormblood.
The Xbox version does have its own currency, dubbed FFXIV Coins, which looks to work in place of Crysta on Xbox. This is used to pay for service fees and items on the in-game store, such as cosmetics, mounts, and more.
