FFXIV Extends Free Play for Returning Travelers

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, running until February 6th, 2025, allows eligible players four consecutive days of free gameplay on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.

The campaign began January 9th, 2025, and offers a welcome return opportunity, particularly following the release of Patch 7.15, which included new side quests in the Dawntrail expansion, the Hildibrand storyline's return, and a fresh Custom Delivery client. Producer and director Naoki Yoshida's recent New Year's message further fueled anticipation, confirming the arrival of Patches 7.2 and 7.3 in 2025, alongside smaller content updates and a cryptic hint regarding Dawntrail's narrative direction.

Eligibility requires a previously purchased and registered Final Fantasy XIV account that has been inactive for at least 30 days prior to the campaign's start. Accounts suspended or canceled due to Terms of Service violations are ineligible. The 96-hour play timer begins upon logging into the game launcher. Players can verify their eligibility through the Mog Station.

While enjoying the free playtime, players can participate in the Heavensturn event (until January 16th) for exclusive rewards and anticipate Patch 7.16's release on January 21st, concluding the Dawntrail Role Quest series. This free period provides a perfect opportunity to catch up on Dawntrail's storyline before the release of Patch 7.2.
