According to industry insider Shpeshal Nick, there are indications that Final Fantasy 16 is on its way to the Xbox Series X/S. During a discussion on The Infinite Podcast, Nick did not specify a timeline for when the PlayStation 5 exclusive title would become available on Xbox consoles.
However, considering that Final Fantasy 16’s exclusivity on PS5 is set to last until June 2024, it’s unlikely to arrive before the third quarter of 2024 at the earliest.
What adds weight to this information is Shpeshal Nick’s track record of accurately revealing insider information. He previously correctly disclosed that Visions of Mana would be featured in the recent Developer Direct, a prediction that turned out to be accurate.
As with any rumor, it’s essential to approach it with caution and not get carried away until official confirmation comes from Xbox or Square Enix. Nevertheless, the credibility of this rumor is strengthened by the fact that Nick claims the same source provided accurate information about Visions of Mana.
In other Final Fantasy-related news, voice artist Cody Christian, known for portraying Cloud in the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, recently expressed concerns about “shippers” who overly sexualize relationships, stating that it can negatively impact the development of great storylines.
