Sony continues to throw all of its marketing muscle behind the newly released Final Fantasy 16, as the PS Store has been reskinned to reflect the title’s arrival today. In addition to some eye-popping artwork, which takes up the entire upper-half of the PS5’s store, there are also appropriate links to the product pages for both the standard and Deluxe Editions of the game.
But that’s not all! Intrigued gamers can also check out an overview of the outing’s battle system, download the recent demo, and watch a couple of trailers. Obviously, the Japanese giant has a vested interest in the success of this title as it’s a timed console exclusive. If you’re just getting started with the game today, then make sure you check out our Final Fantasy 16 guide through the link.

We need PSN Avatars, PlayStation!
I’m trying to think of any recent time that a third party game got this much marketing push from Sony, and nothing comes to mind; this is wild. If you didn’t know any better, you’d have good reason to think this was a major PlayStation Studios release.
The one thing that bothers me is that the game has to drop down to 720p internally to maintain 60hz during combat. Maybe we do need PS5 pro for those who want higher fps.
@Triumph741 From my understanding of why it does that is because of the devs implementation of ray tracing. That's why it can't reach past 45 frames in populated areas and why it suspiciously goes to 60fps and drops that resolution during combat.
Its going to be 2 weeks before i can get it, the wait will be painful.
@awaltzforvenus For all intents and purposes it IS a major PlayStation (OK not studios) release. Without and major first party titles it's their main big game for the first half of 2023.
But I seem to remember them doing similar for COD. Took up all the store and was pushed everywhere.
Played demo ....my First ever FF exp...... great game...... Will def grab down the line.....
@themightyant Ah, okay; I definitely don’t follow COD, I wouldn’t know. 😅
That’s a good point about the first party release lineup so far for the year; either way, love to see it. Feels like an extension of the PS1/PS2 heyday.
I caved after I said I wouldn't. Gamers...
All I see is marketing for this everywhere I go and its great
@awaltzforvenus I mean I’m not disagreeing with you but honestly the last couple BIG games on either just PS5 or PS5 and Xbox have had these takeovers. Like I’m pretty sure Diablo IV had it on both? But I know the night SF6 came out I was beating Like A Dragon Ishin and I beat it slightly early so I decided to check the PS Store just for laughs and was like WHOA ITS ALL SF. Just like XVI here.
@danzoEX We also need themes too! I'd love to have a FF16 theme on my PS5 home screen.
