The Xbox open beta for Final Fantasy 14 contains all the content that's featured in the Free Trial version of the game on PC and PlayStation, including the entireity of the "A Realm Reborn" story as well as a large portion of the Heavensward and Stormblood expansions. There are no restrictions on playtime either, so there's a lot to enjoy here!
Square Enix says that the full game will arrive "immediately following the conclusion of the open beta test", so we shouldn't have long to wait for the full Xbox Series X|S release. The team also says that players won't have to re-download the game once it moves to the full version - it'll simply transition to the full release when Square has performed "thorough reviews" of beta feedback.
