Final Fantasy 14 open Beta for PS5 began on April 13, 2021 and after more than 20 hours of gameplay, in duty finder, dungeons and building a character playing through Stormblood expansion at level 65, it is definitely worth it to upgrade to the PS5 version.
As they said, you can upgrade from the PS4 version to the PS5 version simply with the download at no extra cost.
Downloading the PS5 Version
It always amazing me at how much fast my PS5 is to my PS4. I would sit there for hours waiting for the download to be complete. The Full PS5 game download took only 15 minutes from start to finish.
Upgrade Tip: Setup your One-Time Password software in case you need to reset your password.
PS5 Version of Final Fantasy 14
Couple of the things to notice to about the PS5 Version I got off the back:
- Noticed no glitches in the gameplay of this version. After playing Duty Finder Dungeons have not glitched in the 20 hours of gameplay and their is noticeable a time frame where you wait versus friends on the PS4 System.
- Game Controller settings modification in settings is also geared toward your PS5 Device.
- Display settings are modified for a high level gameplay on a 65 inch screen.
PS5 Gameplay with the PS4 Version of Final Fantasy 14
Playing FF14 on the PS4 version the last few month’s have had plenty of issues with the PS5. PS5 faster game speed matched with its drive to load the game queries lead to some noticeable issues in Duty Finder or while playing playing a mission and the game speed locks me out of where everyone else is.
FINAL FANTASY XIV ENDWALKER
Don’t forget to stay tuned to updates for the FINAL FANTASY XIV ENDWALKER expansion coming this fall.
FINAL FANTASY XIV ENDWALKER will most likely include the other expansion packs (HEAVENSWARD, STORMBLOOD & SHADOWBRINGERS) if you are a first time player.
Monthly Subscriptions will still be required to play ff14 on PS5 like all other versions or platforms.
