Final Fantasy XVI Prepares for Its PC Debut – Try the Demo Now!

Final Fantasy XVI is set to make its highly anticipated debut on PC! As announced via the official X (formerly Twitter) account, the former PlayStation 5 exclusive will arrive on September 17, available for both Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Preorder and Wishlist Now

Players can wishlist or preorder the game today on either platform. A thrilling free demo is also available, allowing you to dive into the game's opening segment and a unique Eikonic Challenge mode exclusive to the demo experience.

Preorder Bonuses

If you choose to preorder, you'll snag some enticing bonuses:

- Cait Sith’s Charm

- Sixteen Bells Orchestrion Roll item

- Brave Blade weapon

The standard edition is priced at $50, while the Complete Edition is available for $70, bundling in the two released DLCs: Echoes of the Fallen and The Rising Tide.

A Consistent Trend for Final Fantasy Ports

Historically, previous mainline Final Fantasy titles have received PC ports a year or two post-launch. While the availability has varied—Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition released on Steam, and Final Fantasy VII Remake initially launched exclusively on the Epic Games Store before moving to Steam—Final Fantasy XVI will be available on both platforms simultaneously.

Fans have eagerly awaited this announcement since producer Naoki Yoshida hinted in March that the PC port was in the "final stages of optimization." He mentioned that the release timing would hinge on system requirements and specifications, noting that they are aiming for relatively high performance.

System Requirements

While the PC port is sizable—coming in at a hefty 170 GB—the recommended system specifications aren’t too daunting considering the scale of the game. Players should have at least:

* AMD Ryzen 7 5700X or Intel Core i7-10700 CPU

* AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT or Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card

Get ready for an epic adventure and mark your calendars for September 17! Don't miss the chance to experience the magic of Final Fantasy XVI on your PC!
