It looks like someone is about to lose their job after Final Fantasy 16 just became available to download and play for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers.
The latest game in the JRPG anthology franchise released last year and was met with critical acclaim. However, despite all the noise it made, even receiving praise from the creator of the franchise, and selling 3 million copies in under a week, Square Enix deemed its sales weak. It's believed that Square is blaming the game's exclusivity on PS5 as a factor in its lackluster commercial performance.
So, if you missed out on all the fun last year and you have an active PS Plus Premium subscription—it costs $159.99 per year, the last time I checked—you might want to head on over to the PlayStation Store right now.
This leak didn't come from one particular source. Many users on the internet flocked to social media and forums to confirm what their eyes were seeing.
