The wait begins to get spasmodic and by now there is very little left: Final Fantasy XVI is approaching by leaps and bounds and in the last few hours the weight of the game in GB has been revealed at launch, let’s find out together in this dedicated article
In these days the air has started to get heavy due to the spasmodic hype that an release like that of Final Fantasy XVI, which will arrive on June 22 exclusively for PS5, is generating. A highly anticipated chapter of an equally followed and respected saga and, above all, returning from a disappointing (at least as “Final Fantasy”) fifteenth chapter, which did everything to redeem itself without ever really succeeding. We are waiting for it too, did you understand? These days, however, the first physical copies are going around the world and, of course, in addition to the many spoilers (be careful), interesting information is also starting to circulate on the net.

Final Fantasy XVI: after the duration also revealed the weight of the game at launch!
Information such as the weight of the game at launch (we already talked about the duration some time ago). Naoki Yoshida had already confirmed. in previous interviews, that the complete Final Fantasy XVI experience would be included on the disc only and that therefore no day one patches are foreseen, unless, of course, it would prove necessary to fix critical bugs. Recently, a youtuber has confirmed, through an unboxing video, that Final Fantasy XVI will require 100GB on PlayStation consoles at launch.
As huge as it may seem, let’s remember that Final Fantasy XV was basically the same size at launch. Except that then came the Royal Edition, with the 4K upscale and all the additional content, and we almost doubled that weight, making the fifteenth chapter the largest (in purely technical terms) Final Fantasy ever released.
If, in addition to the weight of the game, you are interested in our first impressions of Final Fantasy XVI, we refer you to our preview based on the demo released some time ago on the PlayStation Store, which you can find by clicking here.
