The Final Fantasy franchise is synonymous with Sony, but Xbox players have been able to play their fair share over the years. With Final Fantasy XVI joining the series with brand new characters and storylines, many players are wondering if they will be able to play on their Microsoft consoles. While the game is going to be a limited exclusive for PS5 for at least six months, Xbox One players wonder when will it be ported over. This guide will offer answers to those questions.
Will Final Fantasy 16 Be On Xbox One?
At the time of writing of this article, it looks very unlikely that Final Fantasy XVI will be ported to Xbox One. The reason for this is that console wars are not just a fan perception. Sony and Microsoft have been battling for the console market over the years, and according to this exhaustive CMA document, Sony has signed deals with other developers that would stop them from working with their rival.
Not everything is lost though — there’s a sliver of hope for Xbox fans. When the six months of PS5 exclusivity expire, there could be a chance that Sony changes their mind and allows Square Enix to develop an Xbox One version of FF16. Realistically speaking, the chance is very small, but it’s the best that the Microsoft crowd can hope for.
Is Final Fantasy XVI on Xbox Series XS?
For the reasons outlined above, there is little to no chance of Final Fantasy XVI being ported to Xbox Series XS.
Is Final Fantasy XVI on Xbox Game Pass?
Final Fantasy XVI is not a part of the Xbox Game Pass. Due to the competitive nature of the relationship between Sony and Microsoft, there is almost no chance that the game will be added to the Game Pass.
