Final Fantasy 16 announces a new update

Final Fantasy 16 will receive a new update in the foreseeable future, but it appears that this patch will not bring significant improvements to the game. Final Fantasy 16 received positive reviews upon its release in June 2023 and currently holds a score of 87 on Metacritic.

Nowadays, many games receive regular updates aimed at fixing bugs and introducing various quality-of-life improvements. However, Square Enix has not released many patches since the launch of Final Fantasy 16. Previous updates added new controller configurations and an option to adjust motion blur, but there haven't been major patches that brought significant changes. Now, Square Enix has announced a new update for Final Fantasy 16.

As reported by Push Square, the upcoming update for Final Fantasy 16 will make adjustments to how the arcade mode evaluates player performance. Additionally, a new leaderboard will be added to the game, but it doesn't seem like this update will bring any further changes. According to the same report, the new update for Final Fantasy 16 will be released on Sunday, August 27th.

The arcade mode in Final Fantasy 16 allows fans to replay previous stages in the game, aiming for higher scores and comparing their performance with other players. The arcade mode provides a great opportunity for players to revisit a previously completed Final Fantasy 16 mission while testing out new abilities. Although it may not seem like a significant new addition, it will be interesting to see how the arcade mode evolves when the new Final Fantasy 16 update is released later this week.

Final Fantasy 16 didn't have many issues upon its release, but perhaps this update will also address less common problems. However, it doesn't seem like the new patch will have any impact on the performance mode of Final Fantasy 16, which is quite unstable outside of combat encounters.

Although Square Enix has not yet announced any official DLC plans for Final Fantasy 16, it appears that the game will receive some form of DLC in the future. The producer of Final Fantasy 16, Naoki Yoshida, has hinted that DLC is in development, but fans should wait for further specific details from Square Enix. Players encounter a variety of supporting characters in Final Fantasy 16, but recent clues suggest that Cid could play a major role in a potential expansion of the game.

Final Fantasy 16 is available now on PS5.
