The producer behindFinal Fantasy 14andFinal Fantasy 16Naoki Yoshida recently reacted to the rumors around the PC version of the next mainline installment in the series, suggesting fans get a PS5 to play the game.
Final Fantasy 16 is already one of the highly anticipated PlayStation exclusives for this year, but PC players do hope that it is only a timed-exclusivity, and they would be able to receive access to the game 6 months after launch. Actually, this idea was formed in public after a Final Fantasy 16 trailer accidentally leaked that the game was a timed PlayStation exclusive.

However, Yoshi P recently revealed in a live stream that no one in the development team has mentioned of a PC version for Final Fantasy XVI, and he wonders why most PC gamers have similar thoughts. “Nobody said a word about a PC version releasing,” said Yoshi P (based on a rough translation byGenki_JPN). “Why is it like a PC version is releasing 6 months later? Don’t worry about that, buy a PS5!”
While it might sound a bit disappointing for PC gamers who have had high hopes to play Final Fantasy XVI on their beloved platform, Yoshi P did apologize for his comment and then asked players to remain excited for playing the game as they have worked hard on it. “Sorry, I went overboard. We did our best so please look forward to it,” Yoshida continued.
Final Fantasy XVI has only been confirmed for PlayStation 5 so far, and is supposed to benefit from the console’s powerful hardware for a true 9th-gen experience. The game currently targets a June 22 release date.
While most Final Fantasy titles have been ported on PC already, but it has always been a matter of when the port would be available. ForFinal Fantasy 7 Remake, for example, it took 3 years to finally launch on PC. So, it is probably a thing onlySquare EnixandSonyare aware of at the moment. The only thing we know is the fact that you do need a PS5 to play the newFinal Fantasyat day one of launch.
