Final Fantasy 16 producer tells PC users to \u2018buy a PS5\u2019 Square EnixIn response to speculation about when Final Fantasy 16 will hit PC, director and producer Naoki Yoshida suggested that fans \u201cbuy a PS5.\u201d Square Enix unveiled Final Fantasy 16 during Sony\u2019s PS5 Showcase in late 2020, offering a glimpse at the long-running franchise\u2019s next chapter. The reveal trailer confirmed its PS5 exclusivity; even the video description on Final Fantasy\u2019s YouTube channel only made mention of the Sony-branded console. However, the precedent set by FF7 Remake and Intergrade leads many to believe a PC version will arrive after a timed-exclusivity period. And because the Game Awards 2022 trailer notes it won\u2019t hit \u201cother platforms until December 31, 2023,\u201d the assumption is that Sony and Square Enix inked a six-month deal. One prominent Final Fantasy producer has thrown a wrench in such speculation, though. Final Fantasy 16 developer rebuffs PC expectations During a recent mahjong stream, Final Fantasy 16 Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida, aka Yoshi-P, addressed the ongoing speculation about timed exclusivity. Twitter user Genki_JPN translated the developer\u2019s comment, in which he stated that \u201cnobody said a word about a PC version releasing.\u201d Yoshida went on to debunk claims that FF16 will hit PC six months later, then advised fans of the series to simply \u201cbuy a PS5.\u201d Since recent promos like the aforementioned Game Awards 2022 trailer have mentioned \u201cother platforms,\u201d it seems safe to assume Yoshida is having a laugh. Fortunately, the wait for the new Final Fantasy adventure will soon come to an end. Final Fantasy 16 hits PlayStation 5 on June 22 of this year, with a PC release possibly slated for approximately six months later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
