Heavy rumours suggest that Final Fantasy XVI is going to be shown at Geoff Keighley’s The Game Awards later today, but it seems as though those rumours are consolidating further with Tom Henderson at Insider Gaming revealing the details of both the game’s Standard Edition, as well as its Deluxe Edition.
All the details, according to Henderson are outlined below,

Something that may potentially get lost in this news, is a nugget that Henderson slips quite late into his article, the game’s release date, which he claims is to be June 22, 2023, making it three big games that will be launching in that window all to be announced at The Game Awards, with the others being Capcom’s Street Fighter 6 on June 2, 2023, and Blizzard’s Diablo IV on June 5, 2023. It seems that there is no quiet release window in the first half of 2023 at this point.
Final Fantasy XVI is launching on PS5 and PC on June 22, 2023 (apparently), but we’ll await confirmation later today.
