Square Enix is planning to bring Final Fantasy 16 to Xbox, according to producer Naoki Yoshida. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, he confirmed that the company is working on an Xbox release, but he didn’t provide a specific timeline.

While they are progressing in this direction, details about when the game will actually be available on Xbox are still unclear. Yoshida encouraged Xbox players to stay hopeful for a future release.

According to a former Square Enix executive, the game’s success is limited by the PS5.

Yoshida’s remarks confirm that the game will be available on Xbox; it’s just a matter of timing now.

Looking towards the game’s Xbox version, we do want to release it on Xbox.

The desire to release Final Fantasy 16 on platforms beyond PlayStation 5 shows Square Enix’s focus on launching games for multiple platforms. The company has been more open to working with Microsoft lately, bringing popular games like the Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remasters to Xbox.

This aligns with Microsoft’s goal to build stronger ties with Japanese developers, which has helped bring titles like Yakuza and Persona to Xbox as well.

FF 16 looks stunning but requires a powerful system to run well.

Yoshida’s comments come after the recent release of Final Fantasy 16 on PC, which has led to more talk about it being available on other platforms. However, the team has stated that they are still addressing technical issues to make sure the game runs well on different systems.

Since Final Fantasy 16 is a graphically intense game, it was made for next-gen consoles. This raises questions about its performance on less powerful platforms like the Xbox Series S.

There’s no official release date for Final Fantasy 16 on Xbox yet, but recent comments from Square Enix hint that Xbox players might get the game eventually. For now, fans will need to be patient and watch for more updates from the company.
