Overview
- A July 17, 2026 announcement from the Final Fantasy XIV Mobile operations team set an immediate suspension of in-game top-ups and new account registrations and scheduled server and website shutdown for 11:00 (UTC+8) on September 30, 2026.
- The companies said they ended the licensing agreement through amicable negotiation, and they confirmed the planned global version of the game is no longer in development.
- Forums and dedicated customer support will close on October 15, 2026, and the operators said they will delete account and character data for players registered in the Chinese mainland in line with China’s Personal Information Protection Law.
- The title was developed by Lightspeed Studios and launched in China on June 19, 2025 as a standalone sister project aimed at recreating mainline Final Fantasy XIV content on mobile.
- Players had seen reduced updates and site issues in the months before the announcement, and the shutdown could end hopes that mobile features or quality-of-life improvements from this build would be adopted by the main game.
