Square Enix showed off some of the graphical improvements during the showcase, including better shadows and improved models. The Updated system requirements will only concern PC players, but it does raise some concerns about the longevity of the game’s PS4 version.

The updated system requirements for Final Fantasy 14 will go into effect with patch 7.0, which is set to release in summer 2024 alongside the Dawntrail expansion. It was also revealed today that Final Fantasy 14 will arrive on Xbox Series X/S in spring 2024.
