Final Fantasy 14 launches on Switch 2 today alongside expanded free trial

Final Fantasy 14 is now available on all three major console platforms. Today, the game officially launches on Switch 2, meaning the MMO can now be accessed on any current-gen platform. 

For a long while, MMOs were considered a PC-only genre, but that perception began to change over the 2010s. Final Fantasy 14 helped lead that charge with console-friendly controls and content-parity with the PC version of the game. Final Fantasy 14 was an early supporter of the PS5 during this console generation, and just recently expanded to the Xbox platform for the first time in 2025. As of today, Final Fantasy 14 is now available on Switch 2 aswell.

As part of the Switch 2 launch, newcomers to the game can buy the Complete Edition for 30% off, instantly granting you 30 days of playtime and access to all expansion content. However, if you opt for this version of the game, you will also lock yourself out of the Final Fantasy 14 free trial.

You are better off trying the free trial version of Final Fantasy 14 first, before signing up for a subscription at all. During the free trial, new accounts can play the entire base game, as well as the first three expansions. Completing all of this will keep you busy for a good while, and you won't have to worry about paying for a subscription until you are ready to move on to newer expansion content.

KitGuru Says: At 117GB, Final Fantasy 14 will use up the majority of your Switch 2's internal storage.
