Final Fantasy 16 might only be exclusive to PS5 for six months, according to a new report from Piers Harding-Rolls, a leading games industry analyst working for Ampere Analysis.
The tweet from Harding-Rolls, which can be seen below, details how Sony has informed him that Final Fantasy 16 will be exclusive to PS5 for six months before releasing on PC, and then releasing on Xbox Series X six months later.

What’s interesting about all this is that Gematsu quizzed Square-Enix directly on the PS5 exclusive status of Final Fantasy 16. In response, Square-Enix said that “We have no further information on if Final Fantasy XVI will be released on platforms other than the PS5.”

The funny thing about this however is that as you can see from the Gematsu tweet above, the trailer from the PS5 stream clearly alludes to a PC version of the game and ‘console exclusivity’, whereas the version of the trailer uploaded later simply says ‘PS5’.
