"Since the recent PS5 system update, there have been reports of crashes and graphics-related issues with the PS5 version of Final Fantasy 16," a Square Enix spokesperson wrote on X (or Twitter). "We are currently checking the situation with SIE. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Please wait for further updates."
Some fans have noted that the issues extend to other games as well, so this could be a flaw with the new firmware update – although, anecdotally, we can't say we've been having any issues in our games. We assume this will all get patched up promptly, but just sit tight if you are experiencing any unusual bugs, and we'll update as soon as we know more.
