Final Fantasy 14: Free Playtime Returns for Past Players

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 runs until February 6th, 2025, and is available across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.

Eligible players can enjoy four consecutive days of free gameplay, with the 96-hour timer beginning upon logging into the game launcher. Eligibility requires a previously purchased and registered Final Fantasy XIV account that has been inactive for at least 30 days prior to the campaign start date (January 9th, 2025). Accounts suspended or terminated for violating the terms of service are not eligible. Players can verify their eligibility through the Mog Station.

This generous offer coincides with the recent release of Patch 7.15, featuring new side quests within the Dawntrail expansion, including the return of the Hildibrand adventures and a fresh Custom Delivery client. Producer and director Naoki Yoshida's New Year's message confirmed upcoming Patches 7.2 and 7.3 for 2025, along with smaller updates, and hinted at future developments in the Dawntrail storyline.

The Free Login Campaign provides a perfect opportunity for lapsed players to catch up on the Dawntrail content before the arrival of Patch 7.2. While waiting, players can also participate in the Heavensturn event (until January 16th) to earn a special minion reward and anticipate Patch 7.16 (releasing January 21st), concluding the Dawntrail Role Quest series. The campaign concludes on February 6th at 9:59 AM Eastern Time.
