Final Fantasy XIV Free Login Campaign Returns!
Final Fantasy XIV is offering another chance to revisit Eorzea with the return of its Free Login Campaign, running until February 6th, 2025. This allows eligible players with inactive accounts to enjoy four consecutive days of free gameplay. The timer begins upon logging into the game launcher.
This free access period follows the release of Patch 7.15, which included new side quests in the Dawntrail expansion, notably the return of the Hildibrand storyline and a fresh Custom Delivery client. Producer and director Naoki Yoshida's recent New Year's message confirmed upcoming Patches 7.2 and 7.3 for 2025, alongside smaller updates, and hinted at the direction of Dawntrail's main storyline.
The Free Login Campaign, available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, started January 9th, 2025, at 3:00 AM Eastern Time and ends February 6th, 2025, at 9:59 AM Eastern Time. Eligibility requires a purchased and registered Final Fantasy XIV account that's been inactive for at least 30 days prior to the campaign start. Accounts suspended or canceled for violating terms of service are excluded. Square Enix encourages players to verify their eligibility through the Mog Station.
While the free login period is active, players can also participate in the Heavensturn event (ending January 16th) to earn a special minion reward. Patch 7.16, concluding the Dawntrail Role Quest side series, launches January 21st. This free period offers a perfect opportunity to catch up on the Dawntrail storyline before the arrival of Patch 7.2. The future of Dawntrail in 2025 remains a mystery, awaiting Square Enix's reveal.
