Final Fantasy XIV PS5 Open Beta On April 13, 2021
PS5 Users Can Get a Taste of the PS5 Version
April.5.2021
For those of us who have been playing the PS4 version of FFXIV (Final Fantasy XIV) on our PS5s, we've been waiting and hoping for a PS5-specific version that could take advantage of the hardware of the PS5. I know for me personally the jump from the PS4 version of Destiny 2 to the PS5 version was quite substantial, so I'm excited about what's in store for this version. With Square Enix boasting enhancements like "lightning-fast loading times, greatly increased frame rates, true 4K resolution, 3D audio, and haptic feedback" I'm hoping that the upgrade is a big step forward for console players.
Upgrading to the PS5 version seems to be quite easy too as laid out by Square Enix on the official FFXIV website. It also seems (and I could be wrong here, but going off how it's worded) that the PS5 open beta will run straight through until the official version is released. I'm sure it will come with some hiccups here and there, but if it's just too much you could always go back to the PS4 version which still works well. Overall I'm sure others besides just me are excited to have one of the best MMORPGs be updated to the latest consoles.
