Final Fantasy XVI released for the PlayStation 5 in June 2023. Just over a year later, the game comes to PCs, but it carries a legacy of questionable console practices. It looks nice enough, even at its lowest settings, but it runs poorly even on most of the best graphics cards.
It's possible to hit framerates well above 60 fps at max settings, but only if you're willing to use upscaling and frame generation — and don't even get me started on the 30 fps cap for in-engine cutscenes, which dominate the opening hours of the game.
