Happy launch day everyone! Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition is available now and we are also proud to announce that the FFXV Steam Workshop is also up and running!



MOD support has always been an important aspect of Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition and alongside the launch of the full game, we are proud to launch the FFXV Windows Edition Steam Workshop!
This is the home of all FFXV Windows Edition MODs on Steam and you can find it by clicking here



The FFXV Modding tool is not available straight away at launch but the development team are working hard to release it as soon as possible. At first the modding tool will be quite limited, but over time the FFXV team plan to add more and more functionality to the tool to give you the freedom to do a host of cool things in FFXV Windows Edition. We want anyone, even those who have never modded a game before, to be able to pick up the tools and use them confidently. Initially you will be able do things like swap costumes around but in the future, the tools will allow you to do much more. That is, if you want to!



This is a big step for us at Square Enix as we’ve never opened up one of our games to MOD support like this before. This is incredibly exciting for us and we hope you are all excited to help create and experience this with us too. That being said, this is going to be a bit of a learning experience for us so there may be some teething issues. We will of course, endeavour to give you the best possible experience with both the Steam Workshop and MOD support more generally.



We want the FFXV Windows Edition MOD community to be a welcome and open one and we will need your help to achieve this. If you see a particularly awesome and creative MOD, be sure to rate it highly, share it around and give credit to its creator(s) when the time comes.



Keep an eye on the FFXV Windows Edition Steam Workshop and remember if you pre-purchased or purchase FFXV Windows Edition on Steam before 1st May, you can get the Half-Life Pack from the FFXV Windows Edition Steam Workshop for free!

We would like to thank the gaming community for all the feedback on our recently released FFXV Windows Edition benchmark tool. Your feedback will help us fine-tune the performance of the game.

We wanted the benchmark tool to approximate the level of visual quality and performance you can expect from your PC environment when running Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition. A Level Of Detail (LOD) issue has been discovered that affects the benchmark scores. The benchmark also suffers from stuttering; both of the issues will be addressed in the shipping game.

While the settings in the benchmark are largely pre-selected for simplicity’s sake, the final game will feature highly customizable settings with On/Off options for a wide variety of settings.

The benchmark will give you an idea of how beautiful the game will be upon release, but for the reasons stated above, the benchmark may not accurately reflect the game’s final performance.
