A Final Fantasy 16 demo is available to download now

A playable demo for Final Fantasy 16 is now available to download, Square Enix has announced.

The announcement was made during a keynote speech made by producer Naoki Yoshida during a pre-launch celebration event streamed online.

According to Yoshida, the demo lets players start a new game and play through the opening Prologue, which contains around two hours of gameplay. Players will be able to carry over their save data to the main game.

Once players beat the prologue, this will open a special second ‘Battle Demo’ focusing on combat.

Final Fantasy 16 will be released on PlayStation 5 on June 22.

In a Final Fantasy 16 preview published last month, we said the game has the potential to be one of the best titles in the series, which launched in 1987 and had shipped over 173 million copies as of March 2022.

“Final Fantasy 16 has the potential to stake a claim as a defining RPG of the early generation,” we wrote. “With production values that are off the charts and music that will knock you off your feet, the game left an incredibly strong impression.”

Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida recently said he’d like to see a PC version of the game released “eventually”.

The game is a timed PS5 exclusive, with the latest trailer saying it won’t be released on any other systems before December 31, 2023.

He also revealed that Square Enix has discussed the possibility of dropping numbers from Final Fantasy game titles.
