I don’t mean to alarm you, but some Final Fantasy 16 players on PS5 have recently found their nice little playthroughs invaded by large black blobs or boxes that threaten to ruin poor Clive’s day. No, this isn’t some DLC, it looks to be part of some graphical issues that’ve followed a recent update to the console’s firmware, which Sony and Square Enix have said they’re looking into.
Taking a glance at Reddit or Twitter, you’ll find a number of posts with players showing off or talking about problems they’ve run into. My personal favorite is the clip I’ve embedded below of someone having to outrun a void that’s seemingly decided to chase them around a bit and momentarily swallow Mr Rosfield whole.
“The PS5 system update yesterday is causing major graphical bugs in FFXVI during some cutscenes and portions of game play,” one player wrote of this particular issue in a tweet, “Bug progresses to blacking out the screen, temporarily receded by opening the active time lore menu.”
