The release version of Final Fantasy 16 is available to play now, but don’t delete the demo version if you want to continue your adventure.

As of today, the game is officially available to play. However, if you have previously played the Demo and wish to continue your progress seamlessly in the full game, it is important to note the following:

If you delete the Demo from your console, you will lose access to the saved data. Unlike most other games, where the saved data, and the game itself are stored separately, the Final Fantasy 16 Demo requires you to keep the demo downloaded on your console to retain access to your saved data.

Should you delete the demo, you will need to start the game again from the beginning. The demo had a duration of approximately 2 to 3 hours.

Therefore, it is recommended to keep the demo until you have played the full version of the game for a while, or at least until you have created another save point in the release version. This way, you can ensure a smooth transition without losing any progress or time.

To conclude this article on a high note, let’s celebrate the launch of Final Fantasy XVI today by acknowledging Square Enix’s release of stunning new artwork featuring Clive and Jill, skillfully illustrated by character designer Kazuya Takahashi.
