At The Game Awards 2022, Final Fantasy XVI finally received a release date alongside a “Revenge” trailer. Contrary to what that trailer claimed, not all versions of the game were actually available to preorder at that time, but they will be as of December 12. Square Enix has revealed all of the details for the Final Fantasy XVI (FF16) standard edition, Deluxe Edition (and Digital Deluxe), and Collector’s Edition available for preorder, including prices and where and how to preorder. The FF16 Collector’s Edition in particular will only be available to preorder through the Square Enix Store.
Where and How to Preorder FF16 Standard, Deluxe, and Collector’s Edition, Plus Their Contents

At the Square Enix Store, you get “The Realms of Valisthea Wall Banners (6” height printed cloth banners).” At GameStop, you get “The Realms of Valisthea Patches (2.5” height printed cloth patches).” And at Best Buy, you get at SteelBook case. The game retails for $69.99 on PlayStation 5 in all cases and is available to preorder now.

- Base game package, including reversible cover art
