Don’t Expect The PC Version Of Final Fantasy 16 Anytime Soon

After the Final Fantasy XVI reveal, many players asked about a PC version. This was especially so because the PlayStation 5 exclusivity announcement came with a 6-month time frame. Some players assumed that FFXVI would be available on PC once the six-month window was over. 

During my FFXVI cover story trip to Square Enix’s Tokyo, Japan, office, I asked producer Naoki Yoshida about a PC version of the game. While it sounds like it’s on the way, he stresses that it will be longer than six months before players see or even possibly hear about it. I’m guessing he mentions six months because of the aforementioned exclusivity window, but he reiterates that this window expiring does not mean the PC version of FFXVI will go live then or anytime soon. 

So for now, and presumably quite a while after the game’s release, if you want to play FFXVI, you’ll need a PlayStation 5.
