Good News Has Come for PC Gamers Waiting for Final Fantasy XVI

Final Fantasy XVI launched for PlayStation 5 recently, and this game is garnering a widely positive response from its fans as well as critics. The way Square Enix has departed from its series from its RPG roots to straightforward action.

This game introduces a semi-open world formula to this series, along with a bunch of new gameplay mechanics and a darker storyline. This game is basically a revenge tale with much darker themes than anything seen before in this series. The best part is that this game is currently on its way to PC, but fans of that platform will have to wait much longer than expected.

Final Fantasy XVI is finally on its way to the PC!

When Final Fantasy XVI was announced, fans were somewhat disappointed by its exclusivity to Sony’s current-gen console, the PlayStation 5. For many, it became one of the first showcases of this console’s graphical power.

While many of the ardent fans of this game awaited its launch, others wanted to see if it would make its way to PC. While many developers from Square Enix refuted any rumors of the PC port of this game, those fans remained hopeful.

And now, they have finally gotten what they wanted. IGN has reported the PC version of Final Fantasy XVI is in fact in production now. The only problem is that this game does not have a launch date as of yet. This means this port might just be in the very early stages of its production.

Fans would be enjoying this game on PC by 2024 if Square Enix’s previous track record is anything to go by. They usually release PC versions of their RPGs within a year of their original launch.

Here’s hoping this port is worth waiting for, though

Previously, when Square Enix launched Final Fantasy VII Remake for PC, that game was not a very good port. It suffered from serious performance issues, and it took them months to fix this unoptimized travesty.

Fans would rather have a broken port later than a broken port earlier. Games like these are very demanding when it comes to hardware specifications. Final Fantasy XVI might even be one of the best-looking games of current times, and no doubt the PC port would be miles better. Let’s see when this game makes its way to the PC.
