According to a recent ad for by Sony, upcoming Action-RPG Final Fantasy 16 will be an exclusive for half a year.

Final Fantasy 16 Will Be A PS5 Exclusive for 6 Months

A recent ad released by Sony for Final Fantasy 16 has shared that the game will be exclusive to the platform for 6 months only. It isn’t all to clear what that means once the 6 months it up, whether that means a console exclusive or if the game then comes to PC as well. It may also not release on other platforms right away.

6 Months Exclusivity

There were rumours back in April last year that the game may be coming PC and Xbox Series X further down the line, remaining a time-limited exclusive upon launch. A listing on the official Sony Australia website had small print that read “Not available on other consoles for a limited time”. However, this was never confirmed outwardly by Sony that it would be released on new platforms after the limitation was up. This latest trailer seems to point in the direction that new platforms will be available after the 6 months stint on PS5. However this could be longer than six months.

Square Enix has been releasing new trailers covering the next entry in the franchise to be a much darker and moodier game than previous titles. One major departure is the use of abilities that can be channelled through Dominants. These people can use the inherited powers of dangerous creatures called Eikons. But with a price, taking a toll on their bodies each time they use these powers.

While Final Fantasy 16 will contain all the elements that make it a Final Fantasy game, there looks to be some changes to the usual formula. This could be a refreshing take on the series as especially when it comes to combat with the main character Clive being able to switch between martial combat and summons seamlessly.

Final Fantasy 16 will be released in summer 2023 for Playstation 5 as a timed exclusive.
