FF14 Welcomes Back Gamers with Generous Free Playtime

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 starting the moment they log in via the game launcher. Eligibility requires a previously purchased and registered FFXIV account that has been inactive for at least 30 days prior to the campaign's start (January 9th, 2025). Accounts suspended for violating terms of service are excluded. 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 continuation of the Hildibrand storyline and a new Custom Delivery client. Furthermore, Patch 7.16, concluding the Dawntrail Role Quest series, is slated for release on January 21st, 2025. Producer and director Naoki Yoshida has also confirmed the upcoming release of Patches 7.2 and 7.3 in 2025, along with smaller content updates.

The campaign provides a perfect opportunity for lapsed players to catch up on the Dawntrail storyline before the arrival of significant new content. While the specifics of Dawntrail's future remain shrouded in mystery, this free access period allows players to reconnect with the world of Eorzea and participate in the ongoing Heavensturn event (until January 16th), earning a special minion reward.
