Square Enix will begin rolling out Final Fantasy XIV‘s PlayStation 5 version with an open beta on April 13th. The full release has yet to be dated but will follow “soon after.” In addition to this, the Endwalker expansion is scheduled to release sometime this fall for both last-gen and current-gen platforms.
Final Fantasy XIV‘s PS5 version will feature improved frame rates, faster load times, 4K resolution support, and more upgrades that have yet to be detailed. Those who already have a registered license for the PS4 version will be able to upgrade at no additional cost.
