The release of Final Fantasy XVI on PC coincides with the PlayStation 5 version experiencing significant technical issues following the console’s latest system update. Players have reported a range of problems from minor graphic glitches to more severe crashes, with notable issues beginning after the console’s recent firmware patch. Platforms like Reddit and Twitter highlight user dissatisfaction, with some gameplay becoming unplayable due to bizarre bugs such as massive blobs of corrupted pixels and glowing neon pink NPCs.
Company Square Enix, aware of the reported issues, is actively engaging with Sony to investigate and repair the problems. Specifically, the PlayStation 5 system update seems to be the root of the graphics and crashing issues, but it’s unclear if this was solely a result of Sony’s update or also due to errors within the game’s development team. The update, meant to improve and introduce new features, unexpectedly impacted the performance of Square’s RPG Final Fantasy XVI.
The specifics of the problems indicate Sony’s recent update for the PlayStation 5 as the potential culprit, which caught Square Enix off guard and had an unintended adverse effect on Final Fantasy XVI. Square Enix has not provided a timeline for fixing these issues, implying that Final Fantasy XVI players may have to tolerate the graphical errors and game crashes for an undetermined period.
