Final Fantasy 14 developer Square Enix has announced that Windows 10 support for the game will end on October 14. This coincides with Microsoft also closing the curtain on its longrunning operating system, with Square Enix adding that players will still be able to “likely” play the game after this date.

“We have found that continuing support for this operating system is a difficult proposition,” Square Enix said in a statement. “You will likely be able to play Final Fantasy 14 on Windows 10 systems even after the end of support. However, after we discontinue support, we will, as a general rule, no longer be able to provide support for problems arising as a result of the operating system.”

The publisher says that it may still respond to requests for technical support, but on a case-by-case basis. Final Fantasy 14 first launched for PC in 2013–PS3–back in 2013, which was when Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system was still in its infancy. Due to its long shelf life, it has naturally been updated for multiple Windows OS versions since then, and its recent Dawntrail expansion provided the game with a graphical update.

Regarded as one of the best MMORPGs of all time, the game was ported to Xbox Series X|S last year. The strong response to it has led Square Enix to adopt a multiplatform release strategy as part of a company-wide reboot that will unfold over three years.

Meanwhile, Square Enix’s other Final Fantasy MMORPG is still going strong. Final Fantasy 11 still has a high number of players, and the game a series of new updates throughout the year.
