Final Fantasy XIV Starter Edition Owners Can Get Stormblood for Free
/
For a limited time, Final Fantasy XIV’s second major expansion Stormblood is being given out for free to those who own the Starter Edition of the MMORPG. Those interested have until May 8 to claim the expansion.
The game’s official website has all the details as it simply states that “existing owners and new purchasers of Final Fantasy XIV Online Starter Edition can claim the major expansion for free before May 8, 6:59 AM PDT.”
For new players that have yet to own a copy of the game, it’s not necessarily free as you still need to own at least the starter edition of the game, which includes the base game, the first expansion Heavensward, and a 30-day subscription.
The offer to own Stormblood is available on all platforms the MMORPG is in. For PlayStation owners, as long as you have the Starter Edition available in your PSN, you can simply go to the Stormblood page and claim the expansion for free.
If you’re not keen on spending money at all as you’re not sure if this game is right for you, there’s a free trial that gives you access to the base story of the game and its first major expansion, the only drawback is a few limitations as a free trial account, which you can read here.
The MMORPG is still going strong as their next major patch called The Dark Throne (patch 6.4) is expected to launch in late May. These updates continue the main story of the overall game and will feature new content such as a new dungeon called The Aetherfront, an increase in the level cap for the Blue Mage class, a new PvP season, and Duty Support for all dungeons that came with the Stormblood dungeons, perfect timing as those that picked up the expansion for free will soon have the option to play these dungeons solo with AI companions.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has the potential to be a favorite for fans of the franchise, delivering an authentic Indiana Jones experience with its story and cinematic presentation. While the game shines in its exploration and puzzle elements, the combat and stealth mechanics’ lack of gameplay variety holds it back.
