The Final Fantasy XIV Online Complete Bundle has received a 60% price cut thanks to the Steam Summer Sale. Every year, the Steam Summer Sale ushers in a plethora of deals to let budget-conscious players purchase some iconic games.

The Final Fantasy XIV Online Complete Bundle consists of the Final Fantasy XIV Starter Edition, as well as the Shadowbringers expansion. The package includes the base game of Final Fantasy XIV Online,as well as the first two DLCs, A Realm Reborn and Heavensward. This bundle also includes a 30-day subscription-free period once you create an account.

This bundle costs about $60 at full price, but this deal brings it down to about $24. If you by chance already have the base game or the Starter Edition, the Shadowbringers DLC is also currently 60% off at $16.

Final Fantasy XIV Online is a critically acclaimed MMORPG that has taken the internet by storm. With this bundle, you will be fully equipped to jump in and play the game in its entirety. However, if you are still on the fence about this game, Final Fantasy XIV allows you to play the game for free up to level 60, which includes the base game as well as the critically acclaimed Heavensward expansion with no time restriction (perhaps you’re familiar with the meme the trial has spawned). If the free trial gets its hooks into you, then you can purchase the bundle in order to be up to date with the full retail version of Final Fantasy XIV Online.

Our favorite PlayStation games of 2023: Spider-Man, Final Fantasy, and more

With the video game industry as busy as it is these days, there's rarely ever a "bad" year for any console. Even in a less busy year, platforms like Xbox still tend to have highlights in exciting indie games. That was true for PlayStation this year, which continued its strong momentum this generation despite only having a handful of big-ticket games.

While not every big PS5 exclusive thrilled this year, there were a lot of strong experiences to dive into. Developers got more mileage than ever out of the system's beefy tech specs, while PlayStation VR2 gave the platform some creative, immersive experiences. That's not to mention a handful of indies and third-party releases that Sony locked down as console exclusives for a time. That list of heavy hitters even included Baldur's Gate 3 for a few short months. In reflecting on another great year for PS5, we've highlighted seven games that stuck with us this year. Some were certainly divisive, but all of them helped give Sony's powerhouse system some extra depth in a crowded year.

Square Enix commits to release more games on Xbox, starting with Final Fantasy XIV

During Final Fantasy XIV's FanFest today, Square Enix not only confirmed that its popular MMO would finally come to Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S in spring 2024, but that it will commit to bringing more of its games to Xbox going forward.

Over the past decade, Square Enix tended to partner with PlayStation a lot more than Xbox. In 2023 alone, Final Fantasy XVI launched as a PS5 exclusive, while other Square Enix games, like Octopath Traveler 2 and Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, avoided launching on Xbox entirely. That all seems to be changing, though.
Following a reveal at the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in Las Vegas today that the Dawntrail expansion is coming in summer 2024, Head of Xbox Phil Spencer and Square Enix CEO Takashi Kiryu came out on stage to discuss Square Enix's future with Xbox.
First, we learned that Final Fantasy XIV itself is finally coming to Xbox Series X/S with faster loading and 4K support. An open beta test will be held alongside the launch of Patch 6.5x, while a full release is planned for spring 2024.
This partnership is not just for one game, though. "Starting with today's announcement and whenever possible, we are planning to bring our games to Xbox for players to enjoy," Kiryu said while on stage, according to X account Nova Crystallis. This sentiment is reflected in an Xbox Wire post about the port, where Square Enix PR director Luke Karmali states that "this is just the beginning of our journey together."
Final Fantasy XIV is available now for PC, Mac, PS4, and PS5. It comes to Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S in spring 2024.

While nothing is set in stone as of yet, the team appears to be taking player feedback asking for more content into account.

So, can you expect more stories to be told in the world of Final Fantasy 16 through DLC? Here's what we know so far.
