Final Fantasy XVI release on PC could be imminent, judging from some recent findings. Following the release of the latest NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready driver, which introduced support for soon-to-be-released games such as Hunt: Showdown 1896, it was discovered that the new release also features a game driver profile for Square Enix's latest main entry in the series.

Final Fantasy XVI Director Wants as Many as Possible to Play the Game, Possibly Hinting at Xbox Launch After PC

It's been one year since Final Fantasy XVI launched on PlayStation 5. The most recent mainline installment in Square Enix's beloved franchise received positive reviews upon launch but didn't sell as much as the publisher wanted. That's one of the reasons that pushed Square Enix to switch to a full-on multiplatform strategy, as revealed last month with the new business plan. With regards to Final Fantasy XVI specifically, we already know that a PC version is being made, and it shouldn't be far off its launch. However, in a message posted on the official Twitter/X account to celebrate the first […]

Square Enix Unveils New Business Plan with Aggressive Multiplatform Strategy and Quality Over Quantity Focus

Today, Square Enix reported financial results for the fiscal year that ended on March 31. The results weren't great, as the Japanese publisher narrowly missed the revenue target and majorly missed the operating income target, with the latter also down 26.6% compared to last year. However, Square Enix also announced today a brand new medium-term business plan that will last through March 31, 2027. The plan's title is Square Enix Reboots and Awakens – 3-years of Foundation-Laying for Long-term Growth. The key changes compared to the studio's previous plan are an aggressive multiplatform strategy and a focus on quality over […]

Final Fantasy XVI Team’s Next Project Is Likely Going To Be More Lighthearted

The next project from the Final Fantasy XVI developer, Square Enix's CBU 3, will likely be more lighthearted, as Yoshi-P seems to be done with dark fantasy for the time being. Speaking in a recent interview with MinnMax, Michael-Cristopher Koji Fox, Square Enix localizing supervisor and senior translator, commented on what could be next for CBU 3, saying that, by looking at Yoshi-P, he can tell he is done with dark fantasy and that whatever project he and his team will be working next will be light-hearted, and a complete paradigm shift from Final Fantasy XVI. During the interview, Michael-Cristopher […]

Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide – How to Get the Tonberry Knife for Huge Stagger Damage

Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide story expansion is out now, and as you’d expect, it includes some new gear, including the best weapons in the game thus far. One of these is the Tonberry Knife, which isn’t the most powerful in the game in terms of raw damage, but is the most best in terms of inflicting “Will” or stagger damage. For those familiar with FF16’s combat system, staggering enemies frequently is arguably more important than just dealing raw damage, so you’re going to want to get your hands on the Tonberry Knife. Here’s how to do so… First […]

Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide – How to Unlock the Blacksmith and Shop in Haven

Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide story expansion is out now, which introduces the new region Mysidia.

Here’s how to do so… How to unlock the Foundry To get Haven’s blacksmith back to work, you’ll need to complete the […]

Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide – How to Unlock Chocobo Riding in Mysidia

Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide story expansion is out now, and unlike the game’s first DLC, Echoes of the Fallen, this one adds the all-new region of Mysidia to explore.

Final Fantasy XVI Achieved Square Enix’s Goal of Attracting Younger Players, Says Dev

Final Fantasy XVI famously didn't meet the sales expectations of Square Enix, though that was partly blamed on slower than anticipated adoption of the PlayStation 5 (the only platform where the game is currently available). However, there is at least one area where the developers reportedly hit their original goals. Speaking to Push Square, Final Fantasy XVI DLC Director Takeo Kujiraoka said: In recent years, players of the Final Fantasy series have tended to skew towards a higher age range. However, this time there are survey results showing that more people in their teens and 20s played Final Fantasy XVI. […]

Final Fantasy XVI 1.31 Patch Notes Detail Massive Balance Changes For Underused Abilities and Feats

The full patch notes for the Final Fantasy XVI 1.31 patch going live later this week were shared online, detailing balance changes, quality of life improvements, and more. Besides introducing support for The Rising Tide DLC expansion launching on April 18th, the 1.31 patch introduces some big changes to some Eikonic Abilities and Feats.
