Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail Patch Schedule
Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail releases on June 28 into early access, and from July 2 for everyone else, but we can expect many players to be anticipating future patches already. Thankfully, FFXIV has a very consistent level of updates and events to keep players going, and below we’ve put together a complete patch schedule for Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail.
Please note, some of these dates are speculative or unconfirmed, and in which case will only have a month, rather than a full date.
