The Final Fantasy 14 open beta test for Xbox Series X/S will begin on 21st February.
The test will only be available for new players playing the game for the first time. Players who already have the free trial, or a licence for the game registered to their Square Enix account, will be unable to participate.
The official version of the game will launch on Xbox Series X/S “immediately following the conclusion of the open beta test” according to the official announcement on The Lodestone, though the exact date of this is unknown.
