Final Fantasy XIV Is Coming To Nintendo Switch 2, But There's A Terrible And Expensive Catch

Final Fantasy XIV Nintendo Switch 2 Separate Subs Expensive Terrible

Square Enix has revealed that its long-running MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 this August – yay! But, there's a catch: to play it on Switch 2, you will need to buy a separate subscription even if you already have one to play the game on other platforms. Yes, playing FFXIV on Switch 2 plus other platforms like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC will require paying two separate subscriptions. 

Despite the subscription shenanigans, your Switch 2 account will feature cross-progression with your other accounts. Plus, Square Enix and Nintendo say you will not need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play FFXIV on the Switch 2. 

This announcement was made during today's Final Fantasy XIV: Fan Fest opening ceremony keynote, where Square Enix also unveiled Evercold, the latest expansion for the game, launching in January 2027
