Will there be an upgrade option for ps4 users?

We’ve seen it before with games charging gamers to upgrade. Will Final Fantasy XIV do the same? The answer is no! PS4 users will be able to download and upgrade to the PS5 version at no extra cost.

Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker

At the Showcase it was also announced that a new expansion is coming to the game. Endwalker continues and concludes the story that has been told for the last decade, but will not be the end of the game.

The story will see the warrior of light embark on a journey to the moon as they look to solve questions that many will want to be answered. What has brought about the final days? What is to be found on the moon? We’ve been promised that the team will be looking to explore all of these questions and more in the expansion.
