If you’re creating a new account, note that you will choose which platform you want to start your trial on here. Then you will need to sign in with an existing Square Enix account or create a new one. Just click the big “Start Your Free Trial” button. The first step in the initial process is to go to the Free Trial starting page. For whatever technical reasons, these games don’t require a reinstall when you upgrade. It also doesn’t apply to the PlayStation 5 or Mac versions.

The game has full cross-save across all versions! It’s just an extra odd hurtle. You’ll keep all your progress if you sign in using the same account. That means when you switch from the free to a paid version (for example, after reaching level 60) you need to delete the trial and install the “real” game. So when you take the plunge, it’s all in.Īnother strange issue is that some platforms require you to download the free trial as a separate client. So if you play until level 40 and then pay the subscription for a month, you cannot jump back to a trial account. You should also know that once you’ve switched a trial account over to paid subscription, you cannot go back to a trial account, even if you’re still within the stated content boundaries. You will be able to purchase a license for any platform you choose later, but you’re stuck while in the trial period. If you start the trial on PlayStation 4, you can’t switch over to PC or Mac and continue playing. Whichever platform you begin your trial account on, you’re locked into that until you spend money. First, you can only start the Free Trial on one platform.
