Square Enix announced the official Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail benchmark will launch on April 14 for PC. This benchmark will allow players to test their PC and ensure its capable of running the new expansion at their desired settings.
This summer, players will embark on a new adventure in the continent of Tural in the Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail expansion. Erenville and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn will join the Warrior of Light into this new land, but a new “contest” will divide the Scions into two opposing groups. Before the expansion launches, players may test out the game’s new graphical updates in the benchmark test.
