Final Fantasy XIV fans, listen up! The beloved MMORPG is set to phase out its PlayStation 4 version by early 2028. Director Naoki Yoshida spilled the beans at the recent FFXIV Fan Fest, explaining that while the upcoming Evercold expansion will be fully supported on PS4, hardware limitations mean it’s time to start thinking about upgrading.

Yoshida assures that Patch 8.0 and even some post-launch content will still hit PS4. But as the game continues to grow, the PS4’s inability to keep up due to its aging hardware has become a real issue. If you’re among those still gaming on a PS4, it might be time to consider moving to PS5. Need a new monitor for that upgrade? Check out LG’s UltraGear 5K Gaming Monitor.

While the PS5’s price tag might be daunting, the transition isn’t immediate. Yoshida emphasized that there’s still time before the final farewell to PS4. If you’re curious about other console-related updates, you might want to read about the latest Xbox update and its new features.

Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on FFXIV’s future plans and consider what your next gaming move might be as the PS4 reaches the end of its era.
