Last week we saw the trailer for Patch 6.1 of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker as a part of a Letter from the Producer presentation. Now we have the patch notes, which will appear on April 12.

As all patches for FFXIV are lengthy, the patch notes for 6.1 can be quite long. Below are some key takeaways. Square Enix also has the full details available for public viewing. Let’s see what Patch 6.1 is offering in “Newfound Adventure”.

For both experienced and new players, Patch 6.1 offers a great deal to be excited about. This patch is the start of a brand new storyline. New Raid and Dungeon content will keep the progression players busy for some time, and adding the Duty Support system to the dungeons in the level 1-50 content is huge for players who want to solo-level through the game as much as possible. The Free Companies, who dream of owning player housing and an area of their own land, have the opportunity to realize that dream.

Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker Patch 6.1 will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC when it drops next week. Endwalker is the culmination of a remarkable decade in Final Fantasy XIV. Read our Endwalker review. You can also see our ranking of all the major Final Fantasy games here.
