Redeeming Early Access Codes for FFXIV Shadowbringers

PS4 Code Redemption

The first thing you’ll want to do is log into the PlayStation Network using the account you use to play Final Fantasy XIV. Then go to the PlayStation Store and scroll down to the bottom of the main menu and select Redeem Codes.

After that, you’ll need to enter the FFXIV Shadowbringers early access PS4 code that you received from whatever retailer provided it to you. If you can’t remember, it’s likely in an email somewhere or printed on a receipt potentially. Call the retailer you pre-ordered from if you’re having trouble finding it.

Once the update is ready, you’ll be able to download the Shadowbringers software. It should appear in your downloads/notifications. If it’s not, try logging into FFXIV and go through the steps of logging in. If you don’t have the download started/completed at that time, it will certainly force you to get it at that point.

You’ll the be asked to tie the early access to the service account that contains your characters. Simply hit next through the two prompts that show up and you’ll be all done and ready to start the early access of FFXIV Shadowbringers.

Windows PC Code Redemption

First, log into the Mog Station with your Square Enix account. Here’s the link to the Mog Station page. Once you’re logged in, select “Your Account” on the top-left corner of the screen.

You should see the various service accounts you have available to you, pick the one you want to register your code on. Then, select Enter Expansion Registration Code and from there you’ll be able to enter the FFXIV Shadowbringers Windows PC early access code that you have.

Same deal as above with PS4, if you don’t know where your code is, check for an email that likely has it. Call your retailer if you can’t find it.

After that, just go through the prompts and follow all the steps that show up on screen, and the go ahead and log in and download the FFXIV Shadowbringers update and software. Easy peasy.

That’s all you need to know for how to redeem your early access code for FFXIV Shadowbringers on PS4 and Windows PC. Good luck to you, soon-to-be Warrior of Darkness.
