As an added bonus, for those who buy the Steam version of the game can get it at 50% off until Tuesday, February 25 th (10:00 a.m. What’s nice about this is that you get native support for Steam’s in-game overlay, and that you can keep your games all in one nice little library. Square Enix has just announced that its massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) FINAL FANTASY® XIV: A Realm Reborn™ is now available for purchase on the Steam PC digital service. However, if you’re like me, you wish it was offered on Steam. Please note that this means if you are playing on the normal Windows launcher and this does not work then you will need to download the launcher through the Steam client which you can download from Steam.There are lots of ways to get Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn through your local retailer, through the Square Enix store, through Amazon. For more information, please refer to the Lodestone article here: Non-Steam Window service accounts will no longer be able to launch the game from Steam. In addition, if you have a non-Steam Windows version registered on a service account, you will need to use the standalone Windows launcher downloaded from our official site. Any other method of direct startup will no longer be available, and you will receive a message stating that you do not have any subscriptions or game time on the account. Due to this, for Steam version service accounts, the FINAL FANTASY XIV client application will need to be launched from your Steam Library directly. Please also note, on August 29, 2019, we implemented a restricted login check process for Steam service account users as part of our fraud prevention measures.

Please be sure to purchase the correct version for your SQUARE ENIX Account. Notices regarding this version incompatibility are available on the product pages for both the SQUARE ENIX Online Store and the Steam Store. Expansions also must be registered on the same platform as their base game.

However, due to some additional features associated with the Steam platform, a standard Windows PC version of FINAL FANTASY XIV is incompatible with a Steam version of the same title. Both versions of FINAL FANTASY XIV are identical.
