So, Final Fantasy 16 Will Have a Day One Patch on PS5 After All | Push Square
After making a big song and dance about the fact that Final Fantasy 16 won’t have a day one patch – an admittedly uncommon scenario in 2023 – publisher Square Enix has since admitted there will actually be an update ahead of release. The patch, which will weigh in at around 300MB, will fix a minor progression issue, a few text errors, and a rare bug which caused the game to close in very specific circumstances. It’ll also help optimise the performance of the title, promising a sturdier frame rate throughout.

The development team apologised for reneging on its promise of no day one patch, but obviously a better optimised game is never a bad thing. Considering this is only a small update, it’s hardly the end of the world. It is pretty amusing after so much was made of the game not having any launch day updates, though.

Eh that's fine, at least it isn't over a gb. Hell it isn't even over 500mbs.
I thought so need that framerate sorted. Sensible
The update being so small is pretty impressive if you ask me.
300MB is good enough. This is what a day one patch should be. In fact, I wouldn't mind a limit on the size of day one patches to force games to be ready already. 1 GB or so (maybe 2 if needed) would do a lot to ensure games are shipped in a more ready state.
@Tsushima The demo is an old build from a year ago so the performance was improved already during the pre launch gameplay.
