Final Fantasy 16, currently a PlayStation 5 exclusive, is set to expand its offerings with a PC version and the introduction of two paid DLC packs. Naoki Yoshida, the game’s producer, confirmed these developments via the official Final Fantasy 16 Twitter account.
Yoshida acknowledged the feedback and reactions from the Final Fantasy 16 community, particularly the desire to explore more of Valisthea’s story and interact with its inhabitants. In response, the development team is actively working on two paid DLC installments that will provide additional content and experiences for players.
While specific release dates for the PC version and the upcoming DLC packs have not been provided, Yoshida mentioned that more information will be shared “before the end of the year.” This suggests that fans can expect these additions to be available in 2024.
This news follows the recent release of a free update for Final Fantasy 16, which introduced various enhancements such as a weapons skin change feature, alternate costumes for the main characters, and improvements to the game’s control schemes. Additionally, previous updates have addressed issues in the scoring system of Final Fantasy 16’s Arcade mode content.
The announcement of a PC version aligns with Square Enix’s previous success in bringing Final Fantasy 15 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake to the PC platform. Fans of the series can anticipate optimized performance and potential improvements over the PlayStation 5 version, including addressing issues such as frame pacing and load times.
However, the most exciting prospect for fans is the forthcoming DLC content, which is expected to expand upon the game’s compelling narrative and introduce new challenges, potentially featuring iconic Final Fantasy elements like summons and epic boss battles. More details are anticipated as the year progresses, offering fans a glimpse into the future of Final Fantasy 16.
