Final Fantasy XIV’s free trial includes A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers, up to level 80. Our earlier claim that it included Dawntrail was wrong. This correction was checked against Square Enix’s trial page on 21 October 2026.
Know the difference between trial access and ownership
The trial has no playtime limit, but it has account and social restrictions. It does not grant every later expansion or the full paid-account feature set. Read the current eligibility rules before registering: an existing paid account is not simply converted back into a free-trial account.
Choose an upgrade only when you need it
Start by identifying your platform and whether your account is a trial or paid account. Then compare the expansion and subscription requirements on Square Enix’s product page. Do not purchase a code merely because an old article says an expansion is free, and do not register a paid licence until you understand how it changes your account.
