Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition will have a free demo version
This demo version will allow players to test the game before they buy it, allowing PC gamers to play through the first chapter of the game. Final Fantasy XV’s free demo should give PC gamers enough time to immerse themselves in the game and see how well it runs on their system’s hardware. Hopefully, this free demo will be free of the issues that plagued the title#s standalone benchmark utility.
During this announcement, Tabata also confirmed that the game would have two storage capacity requirements on PC, a 100GB size for the standard game and a 155GB version which offer full 4K textures. This advanced 155GB option should only be used by players with high-resolution displays and graphics cards with a lot of VRAM.
