Windows 11 has been out for a few weeks now, and if you're a loyal player of Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIV, you might be wondering whether the popular MMORPG would run natively on the latest iteration of Microsoft's desktop platform. With the release of the game's fourth expansion pack, "Endwalker", just a few weeks away, there have been a lot of concerns surrounding whether the game will be officially supported on Windows 11, which launched earlier last month.
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Campfire – A larger scale of adventure
In this post, we'll explain in detail whether you can play Final Fantasy XIV on Windows 11, whether the current version is compatible with Windows 11, and how the game works on the new platform.
Yes. Final Fantasy XIV will be officially supported on Microsoft's latest Windows 11 platform, but the final version of the game built for Windows 11 machines has yet to be released. Square Enix, the game's developer, revealed in a statement last month that the team is performing "operational verifications" to get the game working on the latest build of Windows.
The company also noted that this verification process will be time-consuming and that you may have to wait a bit longer before the game is officially ported to Windows 11. Given that it's been almost two months since Square Enix made this last announcement, we can expect the team to deliver the good news soon, in time for the release of the game's fourth expansion pack, "Endwalker," which is scheduled to launch on December 7, 2021.
