It's been announced that FFXVI will be coming to PC on September 17th, with still no sign of an Xbox release as things stand. That said, Windows Central talked to game director Hiroshi Takai earlier today who advised the following:
"We're taking one thing at a time right now, so I can't reveal anything about our future plans. All I can say is, it's something I would personally like to see happen!"
It feels like there's reason to be hopeful. We've already heard how Square Enix plans to include Xbox as part of its multiplatform plans moving forward, and that includes titles from its back catalogue. Reliable Xbox insider extas1s has also been saying on social media that they expect FFXVI to arrive on Xbox in late 2024 or early 2025.
For now though, we'll have to remain patient. We'll get there eventually... hopefully not too long now!
