Final Fantasy XIV Continues to Gain Subscribers, Boosting Square Enix in Quarter Revenue

The company highlights the recent success of the MMO as one of the big news of the spring for its coffers.

Days of many financial reports. If a while ago we were talking about the sales of Nintendo consoles and video games , now we focus our attention on another of the large companies in the industry in Japan, Square Enix . The firm has announced lower results than those obtained in the same period of 2020, having as good news the rhythm of subscriptions obtained by Final Fantasy XIV .

The information shared does not provide specific data on active players for the online multiplayer adventure of the veteran franchise, but it is enough to take a look at the daily average of users on Steam of the MMO to realize how FF XIV Online has doubled its community compared to the beginning of the year.

Best for Square Enix? It does not seem that production has peaked , and if so, the company still has an ace up its sleeve, the Endwalker expansion dated for the end of the year on both PC and PS5 and PS4. With Endwalker, players will experience the climax of the Hydaelyn and Zodiark story and face something more fearsome than ever, heading to the ends of the world and even to the moon.

Less sales in games

Square Enix reports a small decline in video game sales, led this quarter that ended June 30 by Outriders and Nier Replicant ver . 1.22474487139 . Of the latter two weeks ago we collected that it had already sold a million copies in its first two months , while Outriders already reported that it had exceeded the publisher’s expectations.However , we must bear in mind that last year it had to these dates the launch of FF VII Remake .
