In fact, the developers also confirmed that at one point they had plans for a PS4 release. However, that would have delayed the development by a year or two.
Hence, if you are a PS4 player, it might be time to transition to PS5 if you want to play Final Fantasy XVI. However, there is a strong possibility that the game will arrive on Xbox and PC post-2023. As of now, this game has PS5 exclusivity all the way till December 2023.
Once that exclusivity lifts, the game may probably be made available on some of the other next-gen platforms, namely Xbox Series X and Series S and PC. Hence, if you own a really powerful PC, then you might have to wait for a few more months before you can get your hands on the game.
