“Nobody said a word about a PC version,” says Final Fantasy 16 producer
Final Fantasy 16‘s PC port came up. “Nobody said a word about a PC version release,” said Yoshi P, the producer on both FFXIV and FFXVI. “Why is it like a PC version is releasing 6 months later? Don’t worry about that, buy a PS5!” he said, laughing.

CES 2023: the PC gaming highlights
CES 2023 came and went while I was burning through a statutory holiday entitlement in the Welsh countryside, so these highlights of the Vegas tech show’s PC gaming gear reveals may be as much news to me as they are to you.

Forspoken’s cinematic trailer shows a world the demo suggests it might not live up to

The game comes out on January 24th, so we’ll know for sure soon enough.
