Fans of was announced earlier this week with a launch set for April 13, though the full game won’t be released until much later in the year.
Among the new features being brought to Final Fantasy 14 on the PS5 are significantly faster load times, smoother frame rates, and "true" 4K resolution . Additionally, this beta will include many other enhancements thanks to the PS5's groundbreaking hardware, such as haptic that simulates in-game environmental factors like raindrops and 3D audio tech that allows for more immersive sound from different sources and directions.
As reported by Game Rant earlier today, Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki Yoshida showed off some footage of the game running on PlayStation 5 in a special Letter from the Producer stream. This footage, which can be viewed on YouTube, featured a female Lalafell emoting on a sandy shoreline near a hill as Yoshida discussed the jump from the standard 720 resolution to 4K graphics. It isn’t the most action-packed display of the PS5’s intense graphical capabilities, and the differences can be difficult to see, since the footage is restricted to a monitor to the side of Yoshida, but it still provides players with a small taste of what they can expect with Final Fantasy 14 on PS5.

Today’s Final Fantasy 14 livestream only focused on the PS5 open beta briefly, but it still gave fans a tiny preview of how the game will perform on the new console. Players who already have a PlayStation 5 will be able to step into the realm of Hydaelyn and get a much better handle on how Final Fantasy 14 looks and feels on current-gen hardware when this beta launches in just a few short weeks on April 13.
