Final Fantasy 14 will finally also be available on Xbox. Find out when it will release on Xbox and what improved features it will have.
Final Fantasy XIV was released back in 2013 and is the second MMORPG in the Final Fantasy franchise. That is also the main reason why it is still played today and has a big and enthusiastic community. However, so far the game was only available on PC and PlayStation, it is even available on macOS. This obviously meant that Xbox players were not able to play FF14 in any way.
Now, ten years after the game was first released, there was a huge announcement for all Final Fantasy fans.
