Final Fantasy XVI is the latest game in the Final Fantasy series. It was released back in June 2023 exclusively on PS5, but then quickly received a confirmed PC version in September due to the success it brought to Square Enix.

Now, nearly a year later, the Final Fantasy XVI PC release date was finally announced alongside a demo. Director Hiroshi Takai even mentioned that future Final Fantasy titles may be released on PC simultaneously with consoles.

Three days after the demo was released, the Final Fantasy XVI PC demo received its first-ever update.
