Final Fantasy 16 Producer Dampens PC Release Hopes
Jan. 13, 2023Final Fantasy 16 Producer Dampens PC Release Hopes
Final Fantasy 16 producer denies PC version releasing 6 months after launch.
The whole PC release expectation first came about when the game was first announced, Square Enix shared a trailer that included “also available on PC”. Later promotions and trailers later only included PS5 and became exclusive to the platform. Yoshida said that fans shouldn’t worry about other plans and joked that fans should just buy a PS5.
Whether or not the game will be coming to PC is still unclear, but at least for now, PS5 remains the sole platform. It would make sense for Yoshida to only promote the PS5 version as that is the launch platform, as they want it to do well. Exclusives also help bolster console sales, so those wanting to check out the latest FF title and cannot wait may end up purchasing. But never say never, as with titles such as theFinal Fantasy 7 remake, the title did end up coming to PC roughly 6 months after PS5.
