The Windows Edition contains pretty much everything

Final Fantasy 15 Royal Edition has been revealed by Square Enix, and it’s finally making its way to the PC.

When Gold or Ultimate edition simply doesn’t cut it anymore, you have to go higher. This is how you get to the Royal Edition. To be fair, this name is reserved for the consoles. The PC version is just called Windows Edition because of reasons.

The announcement for Final Fantasy 15 Royal Edition or more precisely written FINAL FANTASY XV ROYAL EDITION, also comes with the confirmation of a PC version, although it’s not all that unexpected. What’s more interesting about the PC release is not the fact that it exists, but the system requirements that will set a new standard.

It has everything

You might be wondering what’s in this new version, and rightly so. First of all, the Final Fantasy 15 Royal Edition features all the content included in the season pass, and that means EPISODE GLADIOLUS, EPISODE PROMPTO, MULTIPLAYER EXPANSION: COMRADES and EPISODE IGNIS.

The other cool stuff that’s been made available includes a new map called Insomnia City Ruins, a fully controllable Royal Vessel boat, a new action called Armiger Unleashed enabling powerful attacks while the Armiger is summoned, a first-person camera mode, various downloadable content, new trophies, and much more.

The Windows Edition might also be called the Emperor Edition

Getting the Windows version means that you’ll also get the best experience, as expected. Besides everything listed above, PC players will also be able to play the game at 4K or 8K resolutions, not to mention HDR.

The most interesting aspect is the fact that a full installation of Final Fantasy 15 Royal Edition will require 155GB. Fortunately, 50GB of that space is occupied by the high-resolution textures, which will require an Nvidia GTX 1080 to play. Even so, players will need at least 100GB free.

The game will launch on Steam, Origin, and Windows Store, for the measly price of $49.99. The developers are also putting out a benchmarking tool that will help potential players find out if they have what it takes.
