Final Fantasy 16Producer Naoki Yoshida gave an overview of the game‘s performance on PC.
Earlier this month, Yoshida confirmed that after almost a year of PlayStation 5 exclusivity, the PC port of Final Fantasy 16 is now in the “final stages of optimization”, and that although it does not yet have a release date, Square Enix will release a demo before launch.
The producer also revealed that the PC’s specifications will be “somewhat high”, but at the time of writing, detailed requirements have not been shared. However, in a recent interview with MMORPGYoshida was able to provide some additional information on the game‘s optimizations.
When asked if there were any improvements for the PC port over the PS5 version, Yoshida responded that there was nothing for localization but that it would have “better performance on PC than on PS5”.
“If you have a very high-end PC, you’ll probably get better graphics fidelity and performance,” Yoshida said. “But if you have a low-end PC, you won’t be able to compete with the PS5.”
He goes on to say that the team’s engineers are working on optimization and testing the limits.
“We’ve seen some hardware boost that framerate by over 100 (fps) in places, but again, it’s going to depend on what hardware you have,” Yoshida says. “We’re doing a lot of testing on this right now. But the better your hardware, the better you’ll see.”
We also recently learned that the upcoming port would require users to have an SSD due to the game‘s technical demand, with Yoshida explaining that loading screens would be much faster and better optimized for players if the RPG was installed on an SSD rather than an SSD. on a hard drive.
Yoshida then encouraged users to try the PC demo before purchasing the game so they could test its performance on their version.
In terms of a release date, Yoshida couldn’t confirm one but said, “It’s not like it’s a year away. We’re getting closer to that release date, so players shouldn’t have to wait too long.”
Final Fantasy 16 received its first downloadable content (DLC) expansion, Echoes of the dead, in December and it was recently announced that its second DLC, The rising tidewill now arrive on April 18.
