FFXIV Free Login Campaign Returns for About a Month

Square Enix announced a means to play one of its Final Fantasy MMORPG entries for free, as the FFXIV Free Login Campaign is back. This time, it runs for just about a month. People with inactive accounts who own the game can take part for a few days until September 23, 2025. 

Now, as usual, we can’t play for free for the entire period. Instead, we get four days. No matter when you start, four days after that, it will end at 11:59pm PT/2:59am ET. In order to take part, the account needs to have been inactive since July 22, 2025. If you played sometime after that, you aren’t eligible for this run of the event. Make sure you wait to log in until you know you can make the most of the 96 hours. So, for example, with Labor Day coming up on September 1, 2025 in the US, a good choice might be August 29, 2025 to begin. 

This isn’t the only Final Fantasy MMORPG welcoming players back, as FFXI kicked off a similar sort of event. Its Return Home to Vana’diel Campaign tends to always run in August 2025. It kicks off again on August 29, 2025, and then also continues throughout September 2025. 

Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the FFXIV Free Login Campaign is available until September 23, 2025.
