Summary
Months after the launch of its second DLC,Final Fantasy 16released its version 1.33 update to fix some bugs and give players a color-coding option to help with custom control setups. The newFinal Fantasy 16update required under 300MB of space to download and install, and followed a pattern for similar updates released in 2024.
WhileFinal Fantasy 16has largely ended development, that has not stopped Creative Studio 3 from continuing support for the PS5-exclusive title. In April 2024,Final Fantasy 16players discovered a bugthat prevented progress in New Game+ mode from being made. If a player that started a New Game+ run chose to skip the prologue, there was a chance that a bug would prevent party members from showing up. Ergo, the bug would render progress impossible at the start. Though the bug would not appear if players completed the prologue in New Game+ mode,Final Fantasy 16was updated to version 1.32 on May 2 to address it.
Over a month after its previous update,Final Fantasy 16continued to address lingering issueswith the game. On June 6,Final Fantasy 16launched version 1.33, with a download size of under 300MB for the update. Both the base game and its expansions received updates to address bugs. According to the patch notes,Final Fantasy 16version 1.33 added a new color-coding option to custom controller layouts for various button assignments. The new color-coding option was added to improve visibility and give players a degree of customization in the user interface. Some hitbox and battle command issues were also addressed, including Torgal’s Precision Sic ability and other commands that did not function when using a custom layout.
Custom controller layouts were added inFinal Fantasy 16version 1.30, which launched alongside theRising TideDLC in April 2024. In addition to the combat updates,Final Fantasy 16’s lore feature, State of the Realm, saw some small changes in version 1.33. Some inconsistencies and incorrect information within the State of the Realm report were addressed, and some spelling and grammar mistakes were corrected.
In response to the version 1.33 update, someFinal Fantasy 16players pointed out that the game’s inconsistent frame rate remained an outstanding issue. AsFinal Fantasy 16continues working on its PC port, it remains to be seen what further updates Creative Studio 3 will give ahead of its launch.
