Final Fantasy XVI's recent PC launch and PS5 update have encountered various performance problems and glitches. This article details these issues affecting both platforms.

Final Fantasy XVI PC Performance: A High-End Struggle

While developer Naoki Yoshida recently requested fans avoid creating offensive PC mods, the game's performance is a more pressing concern. Even top-tier hardware struggles to maintain expected performance. Many anticipated smooth 4K 60fps gameplay, but benchmarks reveal this isn't easily achievable, even with the powerful NVIDIA RTX 4090.

DSOGaming's John Papadopoulos reports consistent 60fps at native 4K with maximum settings is challenging. This is surprising given the RTX 4090's capabilities.

However, utilizing DLSS 3 Frame Generation with DLAA can reportedly boost frame rates consistently above 80fps. DLSS 3 leverages AI for frame generation, while DLAA is an anti-aliasing technique improving image quality without significant performance penalties.

Arriving on PC on September 17th, the Complete Edition includes the base game and its expansions, "Echoes of the Fallen" and "The Rising Tide." Before playing, compare your system specs to the minimum and recommended requirements below for optimal gameplay.
