New PS5 System Update Is Reportedly Causing Graphical Issues In Final Fantasy 16 And More

As a long-time PlayStation enthusiast with countless hours invested in various titles, I must admit that I was initially thrilled about the latest system update for my trusty PS5. However, it seems this joy has been somewhat dampened by the reports of graphical issues and crashes affecting several games, including Final Fantasy 16 – a game I’ve eagerly awaited for quite some time.


The most recent firmware update for the PlayStation 5 (version 24.06-10.00.00) has brought about some exciting new features; however, it appears that there might also be some unexpected consequences. Some users have reported encountering graphical problems across different games post-update, and Square Enix has acknowledged that the update seems to impact Final Fantasy 16 on Sony’s console.

As an avid fan, I’ve noticed some troublesome glitches in Final Fantasy 16 after the recent update. For instance, the game has been crashing when loading a save or fast-traveling, and at times, the screen turns into a swarm of black squares. Square Enix acknowledged these issues on their official Final Fantasy 16 X account and mentioned they are collaborating with Sony to investigate and resolve these problems.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed some troubles with my favorite game since the latest PlayStation 5 system update. Apparently, it seems like other players are experiencing similar issues such as crashes and graphical glitches. To address these concerns, Square Enix is collaborating with Sony Interactive Entertainment to delve into the problem. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and will keep you updated on our findings soon.

Users of the PlayStation 5 on Reddit have been mentioning graphic glitches they’ve encountered in games such as Death Stranding, Star Wars Outlaws, and others, after the latest system update. However, it remains undetermined exactly how many of these problems are directly linked to the update. At this point, Sony has not provided any official statements regarding the issues.

On September 12, the newest update for the PlayStation 5 was released, introducing support for new functionalities such as Party Share and Welcome Hub. In the ensuing weeks, more users will gain access to these features. The Welcome Hub is a customizable section on the PS5’s home screen that allows you to personalize your widgets and backgrounds, while Party Share enables users to invite friends from various messaging apps to join a voice chat session in a PlayStation Party by scanning a QR code.

Despite some troubles faced by Final Fantasy 16 on PlayStation 5, it’s now also available on PC. Producer Naoki Yoshida has requested that PC gamers avoid developing or installing any mods that might be considered disrespectful or inappropriate.
