The first Final Fantasy XVI update for the recently released PC version is now live, bringing performance improvements and more.
Update 1.01 aims to improve game stability, add controller options, and address several other issues. As part of the game stability improvement, the update resolves an issue that caused frame rate drops under unspecified conditions. The update also enabled Bluetooth connectivity for DualSense and DualShock controllers, fixes character graphics not displaying properly on certain screens, some UI issues, incorrect text display, errors in the ending credits, and unexpected crashing issues under certain conditions.
Final Fantasy XVI finally launched this month on PC, complete with the DLC expansions released on PlayStation 5. Even without them, the latest main entry in the long-running series is more than worth anyone’s time, as highlighted by Kai in his review of the PlayStation 5 release.
Final Fantasy XVI heralds in a new standard for Japanese role-playing games and while the RPG components themselves are limited by Square-Enix standards, it’s the narrative and gameplay that exceed all expectations. What begins with kingdom-wide subterfuge and destruction ends with a world forever changed and the player, as Clive Rosfield and Ifrit together, are the driving force to see it all through until the end.
Final Fantasy XVI is now available on PC and PlayStation 5 worldwide. It is rumored that the game will eventually be released on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, but no official announcement has been made to date.
