Is Final Fantasy XVI on PC?

Final Fantasy XVI has not been released on PC as of yet, but there are reports of a PC version being in the works.

Since the beginning of development, the game has been planned as a PS5 exclusive, giving Sony yet another victory in their effort to provide AAA content to their fanbase. The electronics company has been at the forefront of the console wars thanks to its ability to attract new customers by offering a wide variety of exclusive games.

Naoki Yoshida (also known as Yoshi-P), producer of the game and head of CBU III, has stated that information regarding the PC version will be made available to players closer to the game’s release date. Yoshida stated in a recent stream that the development team has been focused on making the PS5 version “120%” perfect, and that they haven’t had time to optimize the game for the PC version.

Yoshida has also acted as the director for Final Fantasy XIV and all of its expansions, and he was instrumental in getting the CBU III team together to make this edition something that fans of the series had never seen before.

A number of Final Fantasy titles have previously been ported to the PC, with the Final Fantasy VII remake becoming a runaway hit on digital distribution platforms like Steam and Epic Games Store. Since previously PlayStation-exclusive titles are gradually making their way to PC, players can probably expect a PC version of the latest installment in the near future.
