The non-official release notes of the upcoming Nvidia Game Ready driver hint at aFinal Fantasy 16PC port. With Gamescom closing in and the base game passing its one-year anniversary,a release date announcement might be imminent.
It’s not the first time Nvidia’s upcoming drivers hinted at major PC releases before the official announcements. Since the tech giant aims to ensure optimal performance with its graphics cards, it prepares tailored profiles for AAA games and popular titles.
These updates also tend to arrive prior to the launch of the games, giving the gaming community room to speculate on possible release windows.

In this case, the upcoming Game Ready driver is titled 560.81, and it does come with driver profiles forFinal Fantasy 16andOnce Human.
Those who are using an Nvidia graphics cardcan check it out themselves by installing the new update and opening the Custom 3D Settings in the Nvidia Control Panel.
SeeingFinal Fantasy 16in the release notes is not unusual at all, as we knew from a GameInformer interview that the developer team was wrapping up the final stages of optimization back in March.
The latest DLC for the game,The Rising Tide,also made its debut back in April and received generally favorable reviews fromcritics and players on Metacritic.
With two DLCs already out and the base game approaching its one-year anniversary,an August release date for the PC port of Final Fantasy 16 PC seems like a good bet.
That’s not a big surprise for the fans, though. The game’s producer Naoki Yoshidaconfirmed that the two DLCs and the PC version ofFinal Fantasy 16were in developmentback in September 2023.
But he has been incredibly careful not to give any clues about a release date since then. However, the PC version ofFinal Fantasy 16is likely to be around the corner with Gamescom closing in and the producer Yoshida is also attending.
