The most serious thing was not only this, but the influence and impact of it Final Fantasy XVI was quite gloomy and now few remember that it is among us, something that is not common in a franchise that has always marked the news and the conversation for quite some time after putting any of its most iconic installments on sale. Which includes things like PC performance.
Will there be a PC version?
Almost simultaneously with Final Fantasy XVI It arrived exclusively for PS5, excluding Xbox, many computer users harassed the Japanese on social media with the recurring question: Would I like to port for PC another installment of the JRPG saga? At the time, there was no response from Square-Enix, which left the biggest fans of the saga unsettled.
Now – after several conflicting official reports about its existence port for PC – thanks to the panel named Voices from Valisteia as part of the traditional PAX West 2023, we heard from the game’s producer himselfNaoki Yoshida, who announced that this is the closest thing to confirmation we’ll get these days, much to the relief of those of us whose source of entertainment is the computer.
Specifically, he said that “although Final Fantasy XVI was published exclusively for PS5, we know that many of you have been asking us for a PC adaptation (…) I want to take this opportunity to officially announce that Development of the PC game is already underway“. GOOD!
What release date are you considering?
Can we have confirmation of this Final Fantasy XVI for PC already in development does not mean it will be released in October, November or December of this year. On the contrary, probably the timelines are longer and won’t allow us to enjoy this game until 2024. As much as the month of June itself, which has been a year since its launch on PS5.
We must remember that Final Fantasy XVI This is a Sony exclusive for its PS5, so Square-Enix may be subject to some type of time commitment, which may have a minimum term of at least one year. as has happened in the past with countless games which were sold with some restrictions on their distribution.
Remember that apart from the game, Square-Enix is developing additional content for Final Fantasy XVI on PS5, so we’re also hoping that the Japanese will offer some information on what we can expect from them with these DLCs when we have the PC edition on sale. Will they come out at the same time? Will it be time to include them in a Gold edition or something like that? Let’s see…
