It seems that Final Fantasy 16 will be available exclusively on PS5 for about half a year, anyway.
On Monday, PlayStation released a new trailer showing off several features of the PS5 DualSense controller. Very briefly, there are a few snippets of Final Fantasy 16 footage with a disclaimer about its release that reads, “[Final Fantasy 16] anticipated Summer 2023. PS5 exclusive for six months.”
That’s not all that surprising. Since the initial reveal, publisher Square Enix has repeatedly stated that Final Fantasy 16 would land on PS5 first — though we didn’t know for how long it would be exclusive until now.

As for Final Fantasy 16’s release date, there’s still nothing concrete. Producer Naoki Yoshida recently said it’ll be out earlier than fans expect. Whatever that means!
There’s no indication that Final Fantasy 16 is releasing to Xbox platforms, but a PC version is likely still coming — the first trailer suggested as much, anyway. Since then, however, the teasers removed any mention of PC ports.
It’s probably not worth fretting over, though. Square Enix has been releasing virtually every series entry on PC as of late, including the Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
