After months of anticipation and a premature leak, Square Enix has officially confirmed the PC release date for Final Fantasy 16, alongside details about pricing and system requirements. Scheduled for launch on September 17, 2024, the PC port of this highly anticipated RPG promises an immersive experience for players eager to explore its rich world and engaging gameplay.

In a statement, FF16 producer Naoki Yoshida revealed that the PC release will be accompanied by a demo, allowing players to get a taste of the game ahead of its full launch. The demo, available for download now, covers the prologue of the game and features a combat-focused ‘Eikonic Challenge’ mode.

Notably, progress from the demo will carry over to the final game, adding an extra incentive for players to dive into this early preview.

Pricing for the PC version of Final Fantasy 16 comes in two editions:

Final Fantasy 16 (Standard Edition): $49.99

Final Fantasy 16 (Complete Edition): $69.99

The Complete Edition includes both The Rising Tide and Echoes of the Fallen DLCs. Additionally, players will have the option to purchase the DLCs and the Expansion Pass separately, although pricing details for these standalone options have not been disclosed yet.

When it comes to system requirements, prospective players should take note of the following specs to ensure a smooth gaming experience:

Minimum Requirements (720p, 30fps)

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 or Intel Core i5-8400

- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700, Intel Arc A580, or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB VRAM)

- RAM: 16GB

- Storage: 170GB

- OS: Windows 10/11

Recommended Requirements (1080p, 60fps)

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

- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (8GB VRAM)

Of particular note is the demanding GPU and storage requirements, with Square Enix recommending a GPU with at least 8GB VRAM and a CPU with a significant processing capacity. The substantial storage space requirement of 170GB might be an essential consideration for some players, especially considering the increasing size of modern game installations. The demo alone weighs in at 17GB, providing a glimpse into the scale of the full release.

As the PC version approaches its release, comparisons with the PS5 version are expected to emerge, shedding light on potential differences in performance and graphical fidelity.
