FFXIV is a live-service game, which means that, occasionally, a server’s status will go down for a short period of time. We’ve got full details on the current status of Final Fantasy XIV’s servers.
Square Enix’s live-service title, Final Fantasy XIV, maintains a loyal base of players by providing fresh content drops through updates. Endwalker recently introduced another chapter to the ongoing storyline, while the upcoming Patch 6.2 will add even more content.
However, to successfully implement these features, the servers sometimes need to go down. Additionally, general maintenance or server connectivity issues can all leave players scratching their heads and wondering what’s going on.
This is why we’ve put together this handy guide which we will update when the server status of the game changes.

As of August 22, 2022, the Final Fantasy XIV servers are online. However, if you find that you can’t connect, this is probably down to the scheduled release of Patch 6.2 on August 23, 2022.
Maintenance will take place on all Worlds at the time below, during which FFXIV will be unavailable:
- August 23, 2022 from 2AM to 10AM (GMT)
- August 23, 2022 from 3AM to 11AM (BST)
- August 23, 2022 from 12PM to 8PM (AEST)
