Brand: Final
SKU: 115

Question 1

What is the difference between the Standard and Complete editions?

Accepted Answer

The Standard Edition is the base game, which is the full main story of Final Fantasy XVI. The Complete Edition includes that same base game plus the two expansions, Echoes of the Fallen and The Rising Tide, which add extra story and challenges alongside the main campaign. If you want the core game, the Standard Edition covers it, and if you want everything in one purchase, the Complete Edition is the fuller package. You can also start with the Standard Edition and add the expansions later.

Question 2

Does one code work on both Xbox and PC?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Final Fantasy XVI on Xbox is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, so redeeming the code on your Microsoft account lets you install and play it on both Xbox Series X or Series S and a Windows PC signed in to the same account, with your progress synced between them. This covers the Microsoft version of the game, so it applies to the Xbox console and the Windows Store version, not a separate Steam copy.

Question 3

Which consoles does it run on?

Accepted Answer

Final Fantasy XVI runs on Xbox Series X and Series S. It is a current-generation release, so it does not run on the older Xbox One. Through Play Anywhere it also runs on Windows PC, but on the console side you need a Series X or Series S to play it. Whichever edition you choose, it is the same full game that reached Xbox after its earlier PlayStation and PC releases.

Question 4

Do I need a subscription or internet to play?

Accepted Answer

Final Fantasy XVI is a single-player game with no online mode, so you do not need an Xbox network subscription to play it. You need an internet connection to download the game and any updates, but after that you can play the full campaign offline. There is nothing else to link or subscribe to, just the game and your Microsoft account.

Question 5

Why might my code be declined?

Accepted Answer

The most common reason is a region mismatch. This is a US code, so it has to be redeemed on a Microsoft account set to the United States, and a code for another region will not apply. Change your account region to the United States before you redeem, and make sure you are signed in to the account you intend to use, since the game attaches to whichever account redeems it.
