Final Fantasy XVI, Other Square Enix Titles May Never Make It to Xbox, as Sony Exclusivity Is Going to Get Much Worse

Final Fantasy XVI, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are all timed PlayStation exclusives, but they may never make it to Xbox, as exclusivity for Square Enix titles is apparently going to get worse in the future. On the ResetERA forums, Head on the Block, who was previously known as I'm a Hero Too and provided correct information regarding a variety of Japanese titles, recently commented on the PlayStation, and Square Enix exclusivity deals, saying they are about to get much, much worse. While it is unlikely the insider may be referring to a possible acquisition of […]

Final Fantasy XVI PC Version Is Likely Going to Require an SSD; All DLC May Be Included

The PC version of Final Fantasy XVI may require an SSD, producer Naoki Yoshida suggested in a new interview. Speaking with Japanese magazine Famitsu regarding the newly announced DLC, Yoshida-san talked about the PC version of the game and the system requirements, which will be announced in due time. Despite not talking about them, Yoshida-san recommended players get an SSD, as Final Fantasy XVI is a game where loading speed is critical, and optimizations may not be enough to overcome a hardware barrier. Both DLC expansions may also be included in the PC release, suggesting it will be released at […]

Final Fantasy XVI Story Expansions Announced; First One Is Available Now

Two Final Fantasy XVI story expansions were announced at this year's The Game Awards, and the first one of them is already available for purchase. The two story expansions, named Echoes of the Fallen and The Rising Tide, expand the latest main entry in the series by Square Enix with new battles, weapons, accessories, and more.

The Game Awards 2023 Winners: Baldur’s Gate 3 Nabs GOTY, Alan Wake 2 Takes 2nd Place

The Game Awards 2023 are in the bag, and while most people are no doubt talking about all the new trailers, there were, in fact, actual awards handed out! As many expected, Baldur’s Gate 3 walked away the big winner, nabbing Game of the Year and five other trophies, including Best RPG, Best Performance, and the Players’ Voice award. There were times when it seemed like Alan Wake 2 could take GOTY of the year, as it grabbed three awards in major artistic categories, including Best Direction, Best Narrative, and Best Art Direction. Beyond those two games, most of the […]

PlayStation Black Friday Deals Include CoD and Spider-Man PS5 Bundles, PS Plus, FF16, More

Black Friday is almost here, and while we got some hints about European PlayStation deals last week, Sony has now fully rolled out their deals on hardware, games, PS Plus, and more. The headliner is that Sony is offering a discount on Spider-Man 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II PS5 bundles. You can grab both for $500 in the US (down from the usual price of $560). The deals are even better in the UK and Europe, where, for instance, you can an EA Sports FC 24 or Spider-Man 2 PS5 bundle for £410 (a £120 pound discount). […]

The Game Award 2023 Nominees Led by Alan Wake 2, Baldur’s Gate 3; Starfield Only Gets 1 Nod

The nominees for The Game Awards 2023 have officially been announced, as you might expect, it’s a very competitive year with nominees being fairly evenly split between a number of top contenders. The two frontrunners, with 8 noms apiece, are Alan Wake 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3. Following close on their heels is Spider-Man 2 with 7 nominations, and Nintendo does better than usual (they’re often unfairly relegated to the “Family” category) with 5 noms for both The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Resident Evil 4, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and Final Fantasy […]

Baldur’s Gate 3 Picks Up its First Big GOTY of 2023 with a Win at the Golden Joystick Awards

2023 may not quite be done yet, but the game-of-the-year conversation is already beginning to heat up. Case in point, the Golden Joystick Awards, one of the longest-running video game awards shows with winners being voted on by the UK public, has announced their winners. The big winner was Baldur’s Gate 3, which walked away with “Ultimate Game of the Year” and six other awards. The rest of the winner’s field was quite divided, with only two other games, Final Fantasy XVI and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, receiving more than one award. Some games that seemed to be frontrunners earlier […]
