Final Fantasy 16 is coming soon exclusively to PS5. While the hype surrounding the game is real, many players are a little disappointed to see that the next game in the series will be a PlayStation exclusive. So this speech from the big boss of FF16 should make them happy.
Final Fantasy 16 Coming June 22nd, it’s one of the few games from the first half to be exclusive to PS5. Naoki Yoshida, Producer of Final Fantasy 16, confirmed a few weeks ago that only the PS5 allowed the title to reach such technical and graphic standards. The developer has never hidden his love for the Sony console. He and the company have been friends for many years and he didn’t want to talk about anything other than the PlayStation. Except here, in addition to the dumpling made at the game’s very first presentation, it was quickly confirmed that that was the case FF16 was only temporarily exclusive. And we finally know Square Enix’s plans for the sequel.
Square Enix doesn’t forget non-PS5 gamers
Interviewed by the media ASCIINaoki Yoshida is already dealing with his future Final Fantasy 16 after I only came forward when I was questioned on the subject. In doing so, he confirms that a PC version of FF16. He also confirms that Creative Business Unit III, a division of Square Enix, is responsible for development and that the teams will do the same “After release, work carefully on the PC version [du jeu sur PS5]”. Good news for those who don’t own Sony’s latest console.
However, we do not yet know how long it will take for this port to arrive. A few months ago, Naoki Yoshida urged players not to expect the PC version to come out within six months of the PS5 version. We will definitely have to wait another year for a port worthy of the name to appear. But it happens anyway. However, there was no mention of a possible Xbox Series version. At first glance, it doesn’t seem to be on the agenda at all.
Final Fantasy 16 even better on PC than PS5?
In recent years, PS5 exclusives developed by PlayStation’s in-house studios have made their way to PC quite often. This will be the case soon Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, For example. Typically, these ports benefit from new graphics options that go beyond the gaming experience. Even though Square Enix is only partnering with Sony and not part of PlayStation Studios, Final Fantasy 16 is still expected to bring new features to PC. As far as considering this port will be better than the PS5 version available on June 22nd? As it stands, it’s hard to say. Even if that’s the case, for those with a PS5, but also a super powerful PC, it might be hard to wait for a port and not rush RPG in a couple of days.
