In Final Fantasy XIV , the next patch 3.1 will be released in November. Hopes for an Xbox One version can probably be buried.
Patch won’t come until November, they took a vacation
The patch 3.1 will not be released until early November, which can be inferred from an unofficial translation of the last Producer’s Letter from the Tokyo Game Show. It is expected to happen in the first 10 days of November. This is unusually late for FF14 standards. Apparently, the team has taken a small breather after Heavensward.
The patch 3.1 will be packed full of a new 24-player raid, relic weapons, exploring flying islands by airship, a new “Golden Saucer” attraction, and much more. We have already introduced patch 3.1.
Due to business reasons and platform exclusivity, there will be no Xbox One version
Also in Tokyo, IGN asked Xbox One chief Phil Spencer about the possibility of a version of Final Fantasy 14 for Microsoft’s console. So far, the game is available on PC, Mac, PS3, and PS4.
There’s no good news. Final Fantasy XIV will probably not be released on Xbox One in the foreseeable future. As Phil Spencer stated, this is due to “business reasons” and platform exclusivity. He could not be more specific. There are various deals, and the situations change. Spencer did not want or could not explain what exactly the hold-up is.
In the past, Square Enix has repeatedly emphasized how much they would like to offer Final Fantasy XIV for Xbox as well. However, concerns from Microsoft were already mentioned, stating that they did not want any crossplay functionality with PlayStation.
