Final Fantasy XV: Royal Edition for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and the Windows Edition release on March 6th for the suggested price of $49.99.
PC owners who pre-order starting on February 1st have a variety options for pre-order bonuses. Pre-ordering through the Windows Store grants the player the “FFXV Powerup Pack,” which gives players access to items that will greatly help them in battle. Steam, on the other hand, will bestow upon players the “FFXV Fashion Collection,” which is a costume collection for Noctis and the gang. Lastly, pre-ordering through Origin gives the player more options to decorate the Regalia with the “FFXV Decal Selection.”
What about the console owners who don’t want to purchase the game again in order to experience the new content? Fear not, Square Enix has you covered. On the same day of release, the “Final Fantasy XV Royal Pack” will be made available digitally for $19.99. This pack will grant players access to the same new content available in the Royal Edition and Windows Edition.
Final Fantasy XV is currently available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but it’s best to wait until March if you haven’t played it yet.
