Square Enix has a lot of big promises about Final Fantasy XVI’s upcoming PC port.

The PC version of Final Fantasy XVI is currently in the “final stages of optimization,” according to producer Naoki Yoshida. A demo is planned before release for users to determine whether the game can run on their PC.
“In terms of where we are in development currently, we’re trying to figure out the final stages of optimization right now,” Yoshida told Game Informer. “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.
“In terms of when it’s going to come out or when we can announce it, I’d like to ask for more time on that.”
Yoshida continued, “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.”
Square Enix will host a Final Fantasy XVI panel at PAX East 2024 in Boston on March 22, which will focus on the upcoming downloadable content chapter “The Rising Tide.” While it is unclear whether there will be any news regarding the PC version here, it is possible.
Final Fantasy XVI is available now for PlayStation 5.
