Can I add FINAL FANTASY XIV to Steam?

How can I add my non-Steam version of FINAL FANTASY XIV to my Steam games library?

1. Log into the Steam client.
2. Go to your LIBRARY and click "+ ADD A GAME" in the bottom-left corner.
3. Select "Add a Non-Steam Game."
4. Click FINAL FANTASY XIV Online in the list of displayed programs and click on "ADD SELECTED PROGRAMS."

The game will now be displayed in your Steam games library and you can use the Steam Overlay while playing by pressing the Shift+Tab keys.

Please note that this will not change the registration type of the version registered on the Mog Station. You will continue to need to purchase and register the Windows version of the game to the account and Steam registration codes will not be valid to register on the same service account.

On February 10, Final Fantasy XIV announced plans to tighten up security for the game with the introduction of Steam Version Account Linking. The English language Final Fantasy XIV Twitter account announced the change.

From March 2022 onward, users with a Steam account can link their Square Enix Service Account to Steam. First, head to the Mog Station and log in with your Square Enix account. Next select Service Account Status

You will now have to log in to Final Fantasy XIV through the Steam Library. Launch the game, and follow the process on screen. Click the I currently possess a Square Enix account button. Enter your account details, and your Steam will now be linked to your Square Enix account.

After you have completed this process you won't be able to log onto this Final Fantasy XIV account with anything other than this Steam account.

Additionally, once you launch, you’ll need to switch to the New Launcher Layout, which was released with the Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker 6.0 patch. If you are still using the original launcher layout, head to the Config menu and select New Launcher Layout.

What does Steam Linking mean for FFXIV?

While at the moment linking your Final Fantasy XIV Service Account to Steam will only enhance the security that could change in the future. For instance, a closer link between Steam and Final Fantasy XIV could see in-game achievements become Steam Achievements.

This is great news for avid achievement hunters who would love a few hundred more badges to add to their Steam account.

Adding FFXIV to Steam Library via Retail Key?

Hey Guys. I'm playing FFXIV for quite some time now, and I was happy to see that now it's available on steam. I like to manage all of my games on steam, so I was wondering if there's a way to activate the game with the retail CD key which was in the package? I only have the old box, version 1.x and upgraded it digitally to "a realm reborn" and the old retail key isn't working here.

So is there even a way to activate it here? If so, do you guys know where I can find the original registration key? Thanks in advance :3

If you wish. You could buy the steam version of the base game. And just login through that just dont apply the steam code and you would still have to buy the xpacks OUTSIDE of steam. That's what I did. And when you login the game will still detect that your account has xpack access and just patch it like normal.

OR

Just add FFXIV as a non-steam game and you will have access to the overlay/broadcast/screenshot.

I'm not sure of this one, could you be more specific. If you've brought the game, yeah. Is it paying for the sub that is the thing? Reason why, is that i was asked something similar a ways back. But the overall question was quite vague.

I do know this. you cannot access the game with an alternate steam account. I believe that you would need to purchase it if you got the game elsewhere, unfortunately.

It sounds as if you've got a retail account, non steam version so...

A few ways could work.

1. Add the existing launcher as a non steam game.
2. Download the 'trial' from steam and log in using your existing details.
3. Buy the base game from steam and log in using your existing account details.

None of these will allow you to use steam wallet for purchases, you need an actual steam account to do that.
And you can not change account types.
You will still need to get all subsequent expansions outside steam as you do not currently have a steam account.

Actually there is a way. I bought Steam version of FFXIV when before I had separate version of the game. I was worried I will need to create new account. But I've found this on official FFXIV Support webpage:

https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&la=1&kid=76363

Just simply follow the instruction, you will create a sub-account? For your FFXIV client similar how you link Battle.net accounts.

Posting this here as it is 1st when I search the in the google hope that will help somebody!
