Last night, Final Fantasy 16 appeared as part of Sony’s PS Plus subscription, but has since been removed.
Images of the game’s store listing were shared on social media, indicating its availability as part of the PS Plus game catalogue.
All references to PS Plus have since been removed, suggesting this was simply an error. However, it’s got fans speculating an official inclusion could be on the way.
The PS Plus listing was shared by Wario64 and NextGenPlayer on social media, though this was specifically the US store.
Might be an error, but Final Fantasy XVI does show up on PS+ Premium for me but only through the PS5 console (US PS+). Was able to load my retail save file.

This morning on the UK store, there’s no mention of PS Plus.
Eurogamer has contacted Square Enix for clarification.
The company has just announced the forthcoming PC release of Final Fantasy 16 on 17th September, for which a demo is currently available. This means the game will no longer be a PS5 exclusive, all as part of Square Enix’s new multiplatform strategy.
