Although there is currently no official PC release date for Final Fantasy XVI, producer Naoki Yoshida confirmed that Square Enix will release a free demo. This free PC demo will be made available before the game releases. As such, PC gamers will be able to test their PC systems before purchasing it.
As Yoshida told GameInformer:
“We’re looking to release a demo for the PC version as well. Again, we can’t really talk about too much in terms of details of when it’s going to come out – I think in a little bit more time we’ll be in a better place to announce things. But one thing’s for sure: It won’t be too distant in the future; it won’t be a year, it won’t be two years, it will probably be shorter than that, so stay tuned.”
Yoshida claimed that the game is in its final steps of PC optimization. Square Enix is currently trying to figure out the PC specs that PC gamers will need to run the game.
“When we can release the PC version might be dependent on that – the system requirements and specifications for PC that players will need, so we’re trying to figure that out. Naturally, [the PC specifications] are looking to be somewhat high.”
Square Enix will reveal the official PC system requirements for Final Fantasy XVI when the game goes up for pre-order. Or at least that’s my assumption. When that happens, the publisher will also reveal its official PC release date.
If I had to guess, I’d say that Final Fantasy XVI will hit PC in the Summer (most likely late Summer). That, or we’ll get it in September/October. Realistically, I don’t expect it to come out sooner than that.
Now the good news for PC gamers is that in the next couple of months, we’ll get a few major triple-A games. Moreover, we’ll get two PS5-only games, Horizon: Forbidden West and Ghost of Tsushima. So yeah, a Summer PC release date for FF XVI seems to be the most likely scenario.
Stay tuned for more!

Do we have any real fans of this franchise here? i wanna know how gay these games are.
FF16 is pretty ghey, check Cyan Color’s post in the comments section here.
Depends on your taste for character design and art direction. The modern titles characters are more boyish looking than western games.
Only one I played was FFIX
It was ok
I preferred Chrono Trigger, just play that, it’s the mold for FFVII and every game since until XII and a much better game overall in gameplay and tone.
I’ve played FF3, FF4, FF4A, FF6, FF8 and FF7Remake. I’ve enjoyed all the ones I’ve played and I’ve heard this one feels a lot less like Final Fantasy than previous titles.
XVI is I think less gay than XV and less weird than the VII Remakes
this one certainly aims a bit more mature with tone and visuals than past FF games.
December more like it… and then we will get a delay until february 2025
Anyone played this on PS4, is it any good? Looks a bit crap from what iv seen.
Yes, it’s crap, and not only crap, it’s a propaganda designed to brainwash normie NPC casuals and push Satanic political agenda. Just look at these at (((EuroGaymer))) subhumans who shamelessly wrote an entire f4ggot article glorifying its Satanic agenda then having the nerve to auto-mod ALL the comments cuz “mUh fEwInGs!!!”

What a bunch of effeminate soylent subhuman p5ssies who deserve nothing but outright Tsar Bomb-size nuke and extermination!
They should take out the gay stuff and leave the pedo stuff in, and Arabs like this guy would be all over these games.
Someone probably forgot that *its* “holy” book approves of sucking blood out of babies’ peepees when they are LESS THAN 3-YEAR-OLDS and probably was a toddler when *its* pedo homosexual father did the same *its* peepee when *it* was a 0-YEAR-OLD just like these subhumans in this picture:

Stop posting pictures of your Cousins you disgusting s*nd n*gger.
Never knew Muslims have Menorah in their houses and have worms surrounding their ears called “hair,” you pedophile, zoophile, terrorist and genocider subhuman worshipper.
good point i missed that just like i missed the kotaku URINALIST because she is taking the piss who wrote the sweet baby inc defense article name is mercante, which means merchant, you know happy merchant? Every single time.
“gayme of thrones”
yeah, thats about right, this is why i did not put any attention in this game.
also its amazing how you cant say anything that the left disagrees with or you get silenced. It is for that reason and the fact EVERY institution whines about antisemetism but has nothing to see about the rampant anti white hatred which is pushed primarily by the previous mentioned group, that i no longer give a damn about racism or antisemetism or lgbtq rights or human rights and i am in full support of the mythical super scary “DUN DUN DUN…….FAAAAR RIIIIIGGHT!!!!”
If we cant have freedom of speech, safe countries, borders or the basic decency of not being racist discriminatory to white people, then ok, bring in the far right, lets have fascism, why not? We cant get libertarianism because “libertarianism is fascism” well ok then, makes no difference to me if we gonna have leftist fascism, might as well bring the “far right” one and the “antisemetic” one and the further right the better, makes no difference to me, i already believe we are living under fascism, its time for the left to also FEEL like we live under fascism and not only believe it. Which they dont, its just a way to silence dissent so they can keep being fascists in charge. Tim to dethrone them.
I thought the Western gaming was the only thing that got destroyed by these rainbow people… what a f*cking shame to read this.
Oh ffs… thanks for the reply man ill definitely be staying away from this tripe then.
Another Denuvo title.
I’m done with Japanese developers. Every Japanese game now has Denuvo and Enigma malware, Sega, Square Enix, Capcom, Konami, etc. I’m tired of this bull that installs DRM malware, forces you to be online, prevents mods, and takes away ownership, just done, Japanese games are on my ignore list from now on.
its weird how the final fantasy 7 remake didnt.
XVI
Damn, they pump out these ch*ng ch*ng games faster than I can blink.
It’s kind of insane how many pedophiles are out there though.
15 isnt really a lot of games in 30+ years. The games arent nearly as good as they used to be in the 90s though IMO; in fact theyve been pretty shyt since the PSX games TBH. That could be just down to me being old though.
I think it’s just a taste thing. I’m older than this franchise. I grew up with everyone around me playingthese games and watching anime, I never liked either.
15 plus spin offs, sequels (X-2, XIII-2 and 3), etc, remakes and remasters.
Oh cool, Final Fantasy VIXVIIXI.
About as exciting as Street Figher 325325154.
Doesn’t worth the bandwidth wasted.
incorrect tsushima is also on ps4.
Why would a demo be not free? Isn’t it a given?
Sega put Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth’s Demo as a Game Completion Unlock for people who bought and completed Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Lost His Name.

idiot clown ukraine are nazis.
Lol, its crazy to see how much further people take a demo announcement past just interest. i’ll give it a try but I havent heard the best about this one compared to previous titles. I’ve been playing stranger of paradise and its a pretty quirky game in its own right.
