Does FFXIV support crossplay?

Yes, FFXIV is crossplay across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Although the game is yet to arrive on Xbox, Phil Spencer and Square Enix CEO Takashi Kiryu talked about the imminent launch during the 2023 Final Fantasy Fan Festival and confirmed that cross-play will let old and new players accompany each other.

The highly-anticipated Dawntrail expansion for FFXIV will be released alongside the Xbox launch. From a new level cap and PvP to new jobs and core battle content, there’s a lot that veterans and new Xbox players can look forward to.

FFXIV crossplay is enabled by default when you load the game on Xbox, PlayStation, or PC.

Can you disable crossplay in FFXIV?

No, you cannot disable crossplay in FFXIV because it has common servers for PC and PlayStation. The Xbox version will be no different and you’ll be directly matched with others regardless of platform.
