One of the most iconic, or in this case, 'Eikonic,' bits of news from the Xbox Games Showcase 2025 was that Final Fantasy 16 has finally released on the platform on June 8, 2025. Xbox players can now experience Clive's journey through the realm of Valisthea on their favorite platform, as the game, alongside all its DLCs, has been released.

Final Fantasy 16 is now available on Xbox Series X|S after a surprise announcement during the Xbox Games Showcase 2025

It's been two years since PlayStation gamers embarked on a journey across Valisthea as Clive Rosfield. Last year, in 2024, Square Enix released Final Fantasy 16 for PC, bringing the epic adventure to a set of new fans. On 8 June 2025, in an Eikonic turn of events, the game has finally been made available on Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Xbox fans can partake in the epic journey of Clive and his comrades to free Valisthea from the clutches of magic and the Eikons. Similar to its PC and PS5 counterparts, two editions of the game are available. The standard edition will only give you the base story, while the complete edition will add the two story expansions: The Rising Tide and Echoes of the Fallen.

Purchasing any version will make you eligible for a few bonus rewards:

• Blood Sword
• Braveheart Sword
• Brave Blade
• Cait Sith’s Charm
• Sixteen Bells Orchestrion

Furthermore, the game comes with cross progression, which means you can play freely on any device, whether it be your Xbox or PC. Besides FF16, Square Enix plans to bring the first part of the FF7 Remake series to Microsoft's consoles in the winter of 2025. It remains unknown when Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be available for the Xbox.
