PlayStation 4 owners can now download the Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn client ahead of this weekend's beta test.

The 11GB client can be downloaded directly from the PlayStation Store, or queued from the Sony Entertainment Network website.

Phase 1 of the beta kicks off this Saturday, February 22, until Monday, March 3, giving players the chance to check out the game for free and level up their character to level 20.

Be warned, though, that progress will not be carried over to the full game once the beta ends.

The PS4 version of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn launches in full this April, with PS3 players able to migrate their progress over to the next-gen version free of charge. The PS4 game includes support for full 1080p and PS Vita Remote Play, plus mouse, keyboard and touchpad support.
