Final Fantasy 16 was just released yesterday on the PS5, and while it’s currently available on one platform at the moment, the possibility of a Final Fantasy 16 PC version isn’t out of the picture, though it probably won’t come as soon as you think.

FF16 producer Naoki Yoshida revealed in a livestream that while the developers at Creative Business Unit 3 wanted to make a PC version of the game, the team prioritized the goal of having no loading screens. This prevented the devs from taking the time to optimize a PC version to this standard. Fortunately, Yoshida reassured viewers that they would discuss more about a PC version of the game in the future when the time comes. Here’s the full quote, as translated with the help of DeepL:

Of course, we would like to release a PC version, but as those of you who played the demo version this time may have understood, our goal was to create an overwhelming experience without any loading screens, so we cannot take the time to optimize the game for the PC. We will be sure to discuss the PC version when the time comes, so please look forward to it.

FFXVI was also originally planned for the PS4 before getting scrapped, and thanks to an exclusivity deal with Sony, the game launched on the PS5 alone. While it’s unlikely that we’re getting a PC version of FFXVI anytime soon, the devs seem to be keen on releasing it at some point, so we’ll have to wait for when Square Enix releases more information on it in the future.
