The PC Demo for Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition is now out!
Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition’s PC demo has officially released on Steam, giving PC gamers the chance to sample the first chapter of the game for free.Â
This demo is available on both the Windows 10 Store and on Steam, with the Steam Demo weighting in at 18.7GB. Nvidia has released a Game Ready driver for this demo, so we advise that PC gamers update their Geforce drivers before playing for optimal performance. This demo will also allow PC gamers to see how well their hardware will perform in the game’s official release, which is on March 6th. Let’s hope that Square Enix has sorted out the standalone Benchmark’s frame pacing issues. Â
