In the same interview, Yoshida indicated that the game is nearing completion and that the Final Fantasy 16 release date would be confirmed before the end of the year. While Square Enix had said that the game will be released in the summer of 2023, the fact that its creators are making progress quicker than planned may enable it to deliver its next AAA JRPG in the first half of 2023.
The game has long been established as a timed PlayStation exclusive, however, a new Sony promotional video revealed that the FF16 PS5 exclusive period would be rather brief, at least in comparison to the Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
