Note that if you have ever tried the game before – an hour on the PS3 version back in the mists of time, like our own Dave, for example – the free trial may not be available. Things are relatively simple on PS4 and PS5, simply navigate to the PS Store, search for FF14, and scroll down to the Free Trial section. On PC, you also have the option of using Steam or going through Square Enix directly. These are treated as effectively separate games that happen to share your account data, so note you’ll need to rebuy the game if you decide to change platform (assuming you end up paying – a lot of FF14 is free, especially at the start). FF14 is currently available on PlayStation, Windows, and Mac.
