Final Fantasy XIV Is Ending Windows 10 Support, Though You’ll ‘Likely’ Still Be Able To Play

Square Enix has announced it will end Windows 10 support for its MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV this October.

The publisher confirmed in a statement that support will end on October 14, 2025, coinciding with Microsoft’s own end-date for security updates and support.

“You will likely be able to play FINAL FANTASY XIV on Windows® 10 systems even after the end of support,” the company said. “However, after we discontinue support, we will as a general rule no longer be able to provide support for problems arising as a result of the operating system.”

Square Enix said it may responded to requests for technical support regarding Windows 10 issues after the end of support, but this will be limited, on a case-by-case basis, and not guaranteed.

Additionally, the OS and CPU requirements for the Windows version of Final Fantasy XIV will also be updated on October 14. Alongside a shift from Windows 10 64-bit to Windows 11 64-bit, CPU requirements will also bump up.

For Minimum System Requirements, the recommended Intel Core i7-7700 (or higher) will shift to an Intel Core i5-8400 (or higher). The Recommended System Requirements are holding steady on the Intel Core i7-9700 benchmark, though.

Currently, Final Fantasy XIV is building up to its 7.3 patch, The Promise of Tomorrow, due to arrive in early August. Following on from the Dawntrail expansion, patch 7.3 will introduce a new slew of Main Scenario Quests following the aftermath of the expansion and the strange things afoot in Solution Nine.

Additionally, the next leg of Final Fantasy XIV’s Final Fantasy XI crossover raid series Echoes of Vana’diel will arrive, with San d’Oria: The Second Walk. Longtime Final Fantasy XI players (who could even still be playing to this day) will likely find some neat easter eggs and references littered throughout the new series of fights.

As for Windows 10 users, the operating system shift still seems to be an inevitable reality. If you’re still on Win10, now might be a good time to start considering your options as its end-of-support looms in the distance.
