Square Enix’s recent financial report revealed that despite strong game sales, profits were lower than anticipated. This was attributed to factors like high development costs for Final Fantasy XVI and lower-than-expected sales of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, leading to a decline in the HD Games segment’s profitability.
NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW cloud gaming platform is adding major titles like Black Myth: Wukong, Star Wars Outlaws, and Final Fantasy XVI, and is now integrating with Xbox Game Pass for seamless access to a massive library of games.
Final Fantasy XVI’s PC port is shaping up to be a strong contender, offering impressive graphics options, smooth performance, and effective CPU utilization. However, a few issues with cutscene framerate and Cinematic Strikes might dampen the experience for some players.
Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy XVI will be making its debut on PC on September 17th, 2024. The PC version will be available on both Steam and the Epic Games Store, and a demo is already available for download on Steam. This launch comes at a crucial time for Square Enix, as the company seeks to boost its revenue, and FFXVI’s PC release is expected to contribute significantly to the upcoming quarter’s earnings.
Square Enix has finally brought the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy XVI to PC, releasing on Steam and Epic Games Store on September 17th. Preorders are open, and a free demo is available, offering players a taste of the game’s opening and a special challenge mode. The PC port boasts impressive visuals and gameplay but comes with hefty system requirements.
Final Fantasy XVI’s second DLC, Leviathan, expands on the main story with a captivating narrative and epic battles. Despite its strengths, it suffers from an isolated feel and pacing issues compared to the polished base game. Nevertheless, it offers a satisfying return to Valisthea with its new Kairos Gate mode and additional content.
Final Fantasy XVI’s endgame mode, Kairos Gate, hides a secret boss fight accessible only to those who complete every stage with an S Rank rating. The boss is a more intense version of the Shadow Clive doppelganger from the main story’s “Buried Memories” chapter.
