Final Fantasy XVI is finally arriving on PC this September, bringing with it the promise of a more platform-agnostic future for the franchise, according to director Hiroshi Takai. This article delves into the PC port's details and Takai's intriguing comments.
Final Fantasy XVI: PC Launch Set for September 17th
Square Enix has officially announced the PC release of the acclaimed Final Fantasy XVI, slated for September 17th. This announcement carries significant weight, as Takai's statements suggest a potential shift towards simultaneous multi-platform releases for future titles in the series.
The PC version will be available for $49.99, with a Complete Edition priced at $69.99. The Complete Edition bundles the game with its two story expansions: Echoes of the Fallen and The Rising Tide. A playable demo is currently available, allowing players to experience the prologue and a challenging "Eikonic Challenge" combat mode. Progress from the demo carries over to the full game.
In an interview with Rock Paper Shotgun, Takai highlighted the PC version's enhanced capabilities, stating, "we've increased the frame rate cap to 240fps, and you can choose from various upscaling technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS3, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS."
Final Fantasy XVI's PC debut is imminent. For those unfamiliar, our console version review explains why we consider it a "significant step forward for the series."
