Where to pre-order Final Fantasy 16, and what comes with each edition

final fantasy 16 Launches exclusively on PlayStation 5 on Thursday, June 22. While the latest installment appears to lack the road trip bromance of its predecessor, it still retains the franchise’s penchant for audacious fashion and inappropriately shaped swords. Now, it’s possible that the game could eventually make it to PC and Xbox, but its developer and publisher Square Enix hasn’t made any official announcement regarding a cross-platform release.

If you’re planning to pick up the game on PlayStation 5 release day, there are several options available to you. Deluxe and standard editions are available for the physical and digital releases of the game, with some retailers offering special pre-order bonuses. However, if you’re looking for a Buster Sword-sized box of loot, scroll down to find the Collector’s Edition of the game, available directly through Square Enix.

Below, we’ve detailed everything you get with each edition of the game, including their cost and the associated bonuses offered by retailers.

Target is offering a $10 gift card with every pre-order, while GameStop is offering six spots of the Valystheia patch to anyone who owns a physical copy. If for some reason copies aren’t available from those retailers, you can also pick up a physical copy of the game digitally through Amazon, Walmart, or the PlayStation Store.
