Is Final Fantasy 16 free to play?

Play Final Fantasy XVI the right way.

Final Fantasy XVI looks to bring a new story and life to the Final Fantasy series. Final Fantasy XVI has generated a lot of interest by returning to a more traditional medieval setting and using the more recent action RPG combat in favor of turn-based combat. This has caused some players to wonder, or maybe hope, if Final Fantasy XVI will be free to play.

The answer is no—Final Fantasy XVI is not free to play, and there are no plans for it to become free to play. To continue the Final Fantasy series with the latest installment, you must purchase the game or game share on PlayStation 5 with someone who has purchased it. This leaves the question of how much Final Fantasy XVI costs.

How much does Final Fantasy XVI cost?

Final Fantasy XVI will cost $69.99 on the PlayStation 5. Currently, it will only be available on the PlayStation 5 but may receive a port to PC at a later time. This means you will need to purchase at least the base edition of Final Fantasy XVI to play the game.
