Critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV set to launch on Switch 2 in August
Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV? Known far and wide for its expanded free trial which nowadays allows you to play through not just the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Heavensward expansion, but also the more recent Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansions up to level 80 for free with no restrictions on playtime? Sure you have! And I'm sure you'll be excited to hear the game is making the leap over to the Nintendo Switch 2 in August.
Those wanting to play will need to buy the game on the Switch 2, and subsequently maintain an active subscription for the title. The first month of play will be something of an early access period to ensure server stability, and during this time you'll be able to play without a subscription. It's not quite as simple as other console releases though, with existing players requiring a secondary subscription to play on the Switch 2. You do at least get 50% off if you have an active subscription on a different platform, but it won't be ideal if you're just somebody wanting to take your existing characters on the go. One small silver lining however is the fact that you won't need an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
