Final Fantasy XIV is now the most profitable game in the series’ history.
The news was shared by the MMO’s producer and director Naoki Yoshida during the media tour for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, where he also confirmed that the game has hit 24million registered players worldwide.
That growth is a significant increase of 2million since only April when Square Enix announced Final Fantasy XIV had reached 22million registered players. The numbers include those who have registered for the free trial, which includes access to the Heavensward expansion.
The increased popularity over this summer has not been without its challenges however. The surge, reportedly coming from World Of Warcraft players switching over, resulted in digital copies of the game being temporarily “sold out”, while players on North American servers were no longer able to create new characters.
