Naoki Yoshida, Final Fantasy 16 developer, throws a spanner in fans' expectations of a PC version making the future uncertain for the game on the platform.
When Final Fantasy 16 was announced, many gamers were disappointed to find out that the game will be yet another PS5 exclusive when it launches on on June 22, 2023 . It was discovered in a promotional video for the PlayStation 5 console, shortly after the announcement, that small print stated the game would be a "PS5 exclusive for six months".
This led gamers to believe that Final Fantasy 16 would be released on PC and potentially other platforms by the end of the year. A recent mahjong stream has thrown a spanner in these speculations, with director and producer Naoki Yoshida – aka Yoshi-P – stating that no one has ever vocalised plans for a PC version in six months.
