Final Fantasy 16 hits lows of 720p on Xbox Series X

Final Fantasy 16 had a surprise release on Xbox earlier this month. Now that gamers have had a chance to get a decent amount of playtime with the game, issues have arisen. 

The console benchmarking experts at Digital Foundry have published their test results for Final Fantasy 16 on Xbox Series X/S. Unfortunately, the game appears to run at resolutions ‘consistently lower' than the PS5 version, hitting lows of 720p in performance mode with lower levels of detail compared to the game on PS5.

One area where Xbox does have an advantage though is in frame rate. The 60FPS performance mode is more stable on Xbox than on PS5, where the game often drops down into the 40FPS range.

Unfortunately this means that neither console version of Final Fantasy 16 can be described as perfect. On PS5, you'll get sharper graphics, on Xbox you'll get a more consistent 60FPS. PC is really the only version of the game that can blend the higher detailed visuals with high frame rates.
