FF16 demo: How to play, what's included & progress explained
Back in the '90s, a new Final Fantasy game came out almost every year. Not anymore. It's currently been seven years since the previous numbered game's release (although the online 14th instalment is still as active as ever) and fans are itching for the next one.
Final Fantasy 16 was announced back in 2020, and it looks to hearken back to the early medieval setting of the franchise. Now that we're almost at release date (the 22nd June), the hype is real and we can't contain our excitement.
And thanks to the release of a demo, it looks like we won't have to. A free demo, we should add.
So what's included in this demo, how do we play it, and will we be able to carry our save over when we have the actual game? Keep reading, because we're going to answer all these questions.
The demo was released on the PlayStation 5 store on 12th June, so it's available right now!
To play it, simply search for Final Fantasy 16 on the store, click to download and voila!
