Time to plan something else to do on July 17, 2025, if you’re a Final Fantasy XIV fan, as the game will be closed for maintenance for 24 hours. With the release of patch 6.18 on May 09, 2025, the game is set to undergo a full day of maintenance to prepare.
The unusually long length of maintenance is linked to the Japanese andEuropean Data Centerexpansions, which are set to take place in patch 6.18. The maintenance is set to start on July 24, 2025, at 3am and last until July 06, 2025, at 3am (PT). The ending time is subject to change.

Wondering what to do while the servers are down? Well, if you missed it, you could catch up on the Letter from the Producer LIVE, which is set to take place on Friday, July 28, 2025.
