Report: Final Fantasy 16 Available for PlayStation Plus Premium Members Right Now

It seems someone at Sony HQ has dropped the ball, as Final Fantasy 16 is apparently free for PlayStation Plus Premium members who can download and play it in full currently!

Multiple players have verified that they can download it now (not stream) and play the full version of the game. From our understanding, and baed on our testing using PS Plus Premium, this seems to be for UK PS5 owners only. You can see it as “included” and downloadable based on the screenshot we captured just now:

Sony has not made any official announcement about Final Fantasy 16’s availability in the service, though it could very well be a surprise release incoming this September, and somebody accidentally made it available a wee bit early. While the action-RPG isn’t getting any more DLC, it is confirmed for a release on PC this September 18, and there’s even a demo for it available now on Steam.

Released in June 2023, Final Fantasy 16 is one of the most cinematic entries in the franchise, and had a combo-heavy combat system as well. Our review of it was very favorable as it snagged a 9.5/10 rating where our own James Lara said, “Those looking for the series’ return to glory, rejoice! Final Fantasy XVI is that game, and this is one fantasy you’ll want to make sure you’re a part of.”

For those who have PS Plus Premium on a UK account, we suggest downloading and playing it right now, though bear in mind that Sony might yank your permission at any time to prevent you from progressing further.
