Naoki ‘Yoshi-P’ Yoshida has revealed during an interview with 4Gamers that a group of SIE engineers are helping with optimisation for Final Fantasy XVI.
When asked about a possible PC release of the game, Yoshida revealed that not only is the game under PS5-exclusivity for six months, but SIE are actively involved in optimising the JPRG.
However, from our point of view, signing such a contract with a hardware maker means that we can receive technical support. This time, there is a part where we are developing together with a group of SIE engineers who know everything about the basics of hardware, and we provide generous support for optimization and other things that are difficult to handle.
Final Fantasy XVI will receive a demo a few weeks before the game’s launch this summer, with all progress transferable to the full version of the game. Speaking of Final Fantasy XVI’s release, Yoshi-P says he’s confident the game will not be delayed; not unless a meteor happens to fall on Japan, that is.
Square Enix will release Final Fantasy XVI on June 22, 2023 for PS5.
