Square Enix said the FINAL FANTASY XIV free trial will include Shadowbringers starting April 28, 2026, when Patch 7.5 launches. The change also applies to accounts that already registered A Realm Reborn.

Square Enix has put FINAL FANTASY XIV: Evercold on the calendar for January 2027 and confirmed PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Windows, Mac, and Steam. The teaser site also locks in a level-cap jump to 110, two new jobs, and broad combat-system changes.

FINAL FANTASY XIV arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 in August 2026. Square Enix says the port gets one month of early access, does not require Nintendo Switch Online, and gives existing multi-platform players a half-price Switch 2 subscription.
