October 30, 2023: FFXIV fans are gearing up for update 6.51. Here is everything you need to know.

The live-service nature of Final Fantasy XIV means changes are always on the horizon. As such, a FFXIV 6.51 maintenance timer can really help out so you know exactly when the next batch of updates are coming, when the servers will go down for them, and when they'll come back up. That's what we've stashed down below.

In this Final Fantasy XIV guide, we'll outline when current or upcoming maintenance is due to arrive in the game, and which servers and areas will be affected. That's on top of detailing exactly what this maintenance aims to achieve, on top of showing you some handy places to check for future FFXIV maintenance down the line.

FFXIV 6.51 maintenance timer - when does maintenance start and end?

According to the official website of FFXIV, patch 6.51 will be released on October 31, 2023. Unfortunately, there is still no information on what time it will be available.

Once we know, we'll be updating this article. The servers will certainly go down when stated, but server downtime can end earlier (or later) than planned if things go exceptionally well or horrifically wrong.

How do I know when FFXIV maintenance will happen?

If you want to know when the latest FFXIV maintenance will happen before it actually occurs, then there are a few places worth keeping tabs on.

First and foremost, the Final Fantasy XIV website has a dedicated maintenance section, so you can bookmark that to see official updates on when downtime will occur. Equally, it's a good idea to look at the in-game update sections, which will harbor the same information.
