Tucked into a blog post revealing the Xbox version's open beta begins on February 21 at 12 midnight Pacific / 3am Eastern / 8am UK, Square Enix revealed that, unlike PlayStation, Xbox players will have to pay for two subscriptions to play Final Fantasy 14.

"The Free Trial version, including the open beta test, will not require an Xbox Game Pass (Core or Ultimate) plan to play," Square Enix said. "However, the full Xbox Series X and S version will require an Xbox Game Pass (Core or Ultimate) plan to play."

A 30 day subscription to the game costs $14.99, 90 days costs $41.97, and 180 days costs $77.94. Xbox Game Pass Core, which is the cheapest tier, costs $9.99, $24.99 for three months, or $59.99 for a year. The cheapest Xbox players could play Final Fantasy 14 for per month is therefore $17.98 if they commit to the longest possible subscription of each. Xbox players will otherwise pay $24.98 if they choose to pay for both on a monthly basis.

The true Xbox tax right there

Well that's dead. 15 bucks for the game sub and at least 10 for the gamepass sub? I mean the game is great...not that great though.
