Square Enix announced Final Fantasy XIV has surpassed 22 million registered users worldwide. This includes accounts from North America, Europe, Japan, Korea, and China. 

The open beta of Final Fantasy XIV on the PlayStation 5 will start on April 13, the same day Patch 5.5 releases. The official launch of the game on the PS5 will happen once the open beta ends.

The PS5 version of the game features "lightning-fast loading times, greatly increased frame rates, true 4K resolution, 3D audio, and haptic feedback." Users who are currently playing on the PlayStation 4 will be able to use their existing characters and game data during the open beta.

How they count users is really off. I played when it first came out, then again when the revamped it and later 2 free accounts when an ex wanted to play. I count as 4 of them and haven't played in years.

While it hasn't been updated since last year it had the total number of active characters at about 650,000 and that doesn't include players with more than one character.
