Final Fantasy 14’s free login campaign returns once more, and this time it’s set to run for over a month until May 8. The campaign will give players up to 96 hours of free game time, allowing them to play a bit of the game without needing to re-subscribe to the service.
Final Fantasy 14’s official Twitter account announced the campaign:
The #FFXIV Free Login Campaign has returned! 🐤
If you or your friends have been away on a break, you'll have until May 8 to claim up to 9️⃣6️⃣ hours of free game time!

The free login campaign isn’t open to anyone, however. Here are all the requirements listed by Square Enix on their website:
- Have previously purchased and registered FINAL FANTASY XIV.
- All registered service accounts must be set as inactive during the campaign period.
- Registered service account must have been inactive for at least thirty days.
In other words, eligible players must have bought Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn at the very least. This means that free trial players are unable to claim the free game time. Eligible accounts must also have been inactive when the campaign period began for at least 30 days, so players with a currently active subscription won’t be able to add the 96 hours to their remaining game time.
While 96 hours may not seem like a whole lot, it’s a great opportunity for eligible players that own the Starter Edition of FFXIV, as Square Enix is also offering the Stormblood expansion for free to Starter Edition owners.
