"Microsoft's Confusing Announcement and Retraction of Final Fantasy 14 Online's Xbox Open Beta Launch"
Microsoft briefly announced an open beta for Final Fantasy 14 Online on Xbox Series X/S before retracting the news, citing an "incorrect" post. The highly anticipated MMORPG, which launched for PC and PlayStation in 2013, is expected to arrive on Xbox Series X/S in spring 2024, with an open beta likely to coincide with the game's patch 6.55 release. Despite the retraction, fans are hopeful for a potential announcement during the upcoming Xbox Developer Direct showcase.
