PS4 Pro users rejoice: Square Enix has finally broken its silence on Final Fantasy XV's elusive 1080p at 60 frames per second update. During the game's most recent Japanese livestream, the publisher revealed that the Pro patch will drop on the 21st February - that's the same day as the Booster Pack, the title's next slice of downloadable content.
Said update will also boost the level cap, which currently sits at 99, to 120. This should allow for some slightly easier post-game boss fights, although we're a bit scared to ask how many experience points it'll take to drag Noctis and company all the way there. Oh, and Prompto's going to be allowed to save more photos; instead of being capped at 150, you'll be able to save a maximum of 200 pictures.
Going further into the future, the supposed story-expanding patch will launch alongside Episode Gladio, the character-expansion due on the 28th March. We imagine that more details on what this next-next update contains will be coming our way soon.
Sound good? Thank Tabata in the comments section below.

Finally!
This is great news, but when I got a PS4 Pro 2 weeks ago, I was disappointed the patch was not deployed yet. I held off playing FFXV until I upgraded to the Pro. I should have checked up on news about the patch first.
This has been sat waiting on my hard drive, glad it's finally coming... Well in three weeks.
HARD
VERY HARD
CRITICAL
Difficulty PLEASE

Did I asked too much?
I wonder what dragon mode is going to be also cant wait for jr the 60fps patch
First and last PS4 game I bought on release day. But glad this patch soon is live, so I can give this game a go. Will probably finish Breath of the Wild first, though.
Finally! I was beginning to think it had been scrapped.
"going to be allowed to save more photos"
Woohoo, yeah, hip hip hurray, finally!!
"instead of being capped at 150, you'll be able to save a maximum of 200 pictures."
Really? 200? Why even freakin' bother. I'm in the middle of chapter 10 sitting at 141 and I've already deleted over 50. I mean it helps, but if they are going to patch it, patch it so it matter. I'm surprised they didn't make it 155.
I'm glad for the people who bought a Pro, but really of all my issues w/ this game - mostly it's open world is really anything but, and fishing is stupid - graphics aren't even on the list. I've only played a handful of games on PS4 and a handful of demos, and this is 1 of the best looking games I've ever played. Only U4 is better. I don't need better graphics, I need more photo storage.
That's cool - although if it is "upto 60fps" I'll probably not bother as fixed 30 is better than all over the place for me. Will be cool if the frame pacing issues are fixed too.
More worried about the story expansion for end of March, I'm already in Altissia, so may need to slow down until then. But then I may never finish it if I don't keep the (story) momentum going...
@finalstan even if you finish the story, there is loads to do post-game, just without trophies. Like hunt down the secret bosses behind the locked doors in the dungeons you have been in and completing all the side missions
Nice! A great reason to start playing FFXV again! I loved it so much I cleared pretty much everything in a month, but that level increase is a great reason to grind some more! And ...Maybe the Costlemark Menace dungeon won't be such a pain to go through anymore ...Maybe.
Anyone else cleared the Pitioss post game dungeon? I did it on the weekend. Omg I haven't been so frustrated with a game in years.
Dont mistake though, this is possibly my favourite ps4 game so far. I love it. Three trophies away from platinum now
I'll just wait for this game to reveal its final form to play it, frankly. Once they are done with all story modes, I'll jump into it. So many games to play before that as well, that I figured I'd like to wait.
I'm a little concern about this, is this a new mode? like lite mode, high mode and frame rate mode, because if it is the lite mode but uncaped, that would be bad, since the lite mode is the only way to play it without frame pacing, and now with 45 to 55 frame rate will be terrible......I prefere 30 stable fps,.....I was hoping that they announced that the high mode will be fixed and no more frame pacing......I guess we will see until 3 weeks.....
About time!
well i don't have a Pro so the 60fps patch doesn't bother me but the increase in level cap does and FINALLY WE CAN SAVE MORE PHOTOS
@Rob_230 I nearly did i was right near the end but then Noctis face planted into an invisible wall and that STUPID reset feature put me right back at the beginning of the the first room of the dungeon i turned it off and said screw it, never going there again
that pace can burn in hell
Hell yeah now this is what I've been waiting for. Time for some New Game plus me thinks whilst dressed as a power ranger 😃
Also more pictures is great news for me and the new level cap will give me an excuse to farm some AP to get the many abilities I'm missing
YES! Finally. Sony still doesn't sell ps4 pro on my country though..
@FullbringIchigo did you open any of the shortcuts to make it quicker to get around if that happens? 7 hours I spent in there in the end. shudders Some of the jumps are ridiculous. Some cruel genius designed it all lol! Even getting to the dungeon was a nightmare lol. Tbh, I question how useful the item you get at the end is anyway. Only reason im using it is to somehow justify the Sunday I wasted
@Rob_230 yeah i did but after all the time i spent there just to be sent back to the start for something that wasn't my fault was just disheartening, if I had made a mistake then i wouldn't have minded but when the game itself does it then it go and stick it
i'm not doing it until Square Patches the damn thing, still love the game though i even got the Platinum this morning ^_^
pro Improvement is always nice since I just got that new console and FF15 already blew me away with how much better it now Looks.
The Level Cap increase will give me another good reason to do NewGame+
Lookin so Forward to all those DLC episodes
Excited as can be!
Gonna spend the next time playin Tales of Berseria so I hope to return to a much smoother and expanded Eos in the near future ^^
@FullbringIchigo congrats man I beat adamantoise at lunch, so just have an evening of fishing ahead if me for plat number 50
@Rob_230 try catching the Liege of the Lake, gives you a lure that makes fishing easy
They also mentioned new "time limited" hunts are coming to the game around that time...hopefully we can get some Exp with those.
@Rob_230 Pitioss was totally insane and amazing at the same time.
