The Endwalker expansion will be released in the fall, but the launch of Final Fantasy 14 on PS5 will take place much earlier and will be anticipated by an Open Beta that will start on April 13, included in update 5.5. Players will then be able to test all the technical improvements prepared by Square Enix and made possible by the additional power of the next-generation console from Sony, including the reduction of loading times and two distinct graphics modes: "Quality", which will offer a native 4K resolution with the framerate locked at 30 fps; "Performance", which favors the framerate by lowering the native resolution to 1440p.
The final publication of the update should take place shortly after the end of the Open Beta. Players with a license for Final Fantasy XIV Online will be able to download the update for PlayStation 5 immediately at the start of the Open Beta period. Everyone else will be able to try the game on PS5 thanks to the Free Trial. Find a taste of the improvements in the trailer attached at the top of this news.
