The director of Final Fantasy 16, Naoki Yoshida, has officially confirmed that development for the PC version is in progress. This announcement came during the “Voices From Valisthea” panel at PAX West 2023. The journey to this confirmation has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Initially, when the game was announced, a PC version was mentioned in the trailer, only to be later retracted by the developer, Square Enix. This left fans wondering if a PC version was in the cards. Now, we have the official word from Yoshida himself.
During the panel, Yoshida expressed, “While Final Fantasy 16 was released as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, we are aware that many of you have been asking for a PC version. So let me take this opportunity to officially announce that development on a PC version is currently underway.” This news is sure to delight gamers who were holding out hope for a PC release. If you’ve been on the fence about playing FF16 on a console, this revelation should make your decision easier.
As for when we can expect to play Final Fantasy 16 on PC, there’s no official release date just yet. However, Yoshida did share that the team is actively working on two paid DLC installments, which we can reasonably assume will also be available on the PC version.
Yoshida wrapped up the announcement with a promising note, stating, “I hope to be able to give you more information on both the upcoming DLC and the PC version before the end of the year, so please stay tuned.”
