Final Fantasy XV has always been suspected of receiving a PC port, especially since all the mainline Final Fantasy titles, including Final Fantasy XII and The World of Final Fantasy have appeared (or are coming) on PC, but we are also received an enhanced console version of the game.

What we didn’t know about then was the existence of Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition. The Royal Edition features the base game along with 20 game add-ons and DLC on top of the new features and expanded map. The console-only Royal Edition will also bring over the first-person perspective being introduced in the PC version. This version will also see a release on March 6 for Xbox One and PS4.
The “Royal Pack” including the contents found in the Royal Edition will be available separately on March 6 for a price yet to be determined via the Xbox Store and the PlayStation Store for players who already own the base Final Fantasy XV experience.
Here are the new features being included in the new version:
- Expanded Map: Insomnia City Ruins – all-new side quests and enemies such as Cerberus and Omega will be available through the expanded map of the Crown City of Insomnia. Players will also take on the Rulers of Yore.
- A fully-controllable Royal Vessel boat, expanding the world of Eos and allowing players to explore the area between Cape Caem and Altissia. Players will also be able to fish aboard the vessel and discover new fishes and dishes.
- A new accessory that can activate the new action “Armiger Unleashed” – players will be able to unleash powerful attacks while the Armiger is summoned. After collecting all of the royal arms, players will be able to find an accessory in an unidentified part of the world, enabling access to Armiger Unleashed.
- A new first-person camera mode, allowing players to experience the game from Noctis’ perspective.
- More than a dozen pieces of downloadable content including weapons, Regalia car skins and item sets
