Free Playtime Returns to Final Fantasy 14

Final Fantasy XIV's Free Login Campaign Returns!

Square Enix has re-launched its popular Free Login Campaign for Final Fantasy XIV, giving players with inactive accounts a chance to return to Eorzea for a limited time. This campaign, running until February 6th, 2025, allows eligible players four consecutive days of free gameplay on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.

The campaign's timing is opportune, following the release of Patch 7.15, which included new side quests within the Dawntrail expansion, the return of the Hildibrand adventures, and a fresh Custom Delivery client. Producer and director Naoki Yoshida's recent New Year's message further fueled excitement, confirming the arrival of Patches 7.2 and 7.3 in 2025, alongside smaller updates, and hinting at intriguing developments in the Dawntrail main storyline.

This free access period offers players a perfect opportunity to catch up on content before the release of major updates. The 96-hour timer begins upon login via the game launcher. Eligibility requires a purchased and registered Final Fantasy XIV account that has been inactive for at least 30 days prior to the campaign's start (January 9th, 2025). Accounts suspended or canceled for violating terms of service are excluded. Players can verify their eligibility through the Mog Station.

While enjoying the free gameplay, players can participate in the Heavensturn event (until January 16th) for exclusive rewards and anticipate Patch 7.16's release on January 21st, concluding the Dawntrail Role Quest series. The campaign provides a perfect window to catch up on Dawntrail's story before the arrival of Patch 7.2.
