Final Fantasy 16: Pre-load time, file size and how to install early
Final Fantasy 16 is tantalisingly close, and luckily you will be able to pre-load the title so you don’t have to needlessly waste time downloading and installing the game after launch.
This leaves us asking: what is the FF16 pre-load time and file size, and how do you install it early?
Development on FF16 began in earnest back in 2016 by the team at Square Enix, headed by producer Naoki Yoshida with director Hiroshi Takai at his side.
The two first worked together in the late 2000s on a cancelled ARPG that was said to be similar to Bloodborne before it was even a twinkle in FromSoftware’s eyes.
They went on to save Final Fantasy 14 before embarking on their current venture to create Final Fantasy 16 — which will feature many characters who will be brought to life by some familiar voices and a protagonist with a divisive name.
Because of its sprawling scope and lengthy development time, you can expect that the final release will be rather large — so read on to get ahead and find out how to pre-load FF16, when pre-loads begin, the file size and how to install it early.
The FF16 pre-load time is 20th June 2023, 12AM BST. That corresponds with 48 hours local time prior to midnight on the launch date of 22nd June — so you can start downloading right this second.
If you can’t wait to get started, be sure to check out how to play the Final Fantasy 16 demo, but don’t worry about wasting any of your time as any progress made in the demo will carry over to the main game — so you’ll be able to pick up from where you left off without the need to replay through an entire act. Very lovely indeed!
