Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition is a special edition of the role-playing action game set in the futuristic universe of Final Fantasy for personal computers. You can expect enhanced graphics, all previously released expansions and add-ons, and support for modifications.
Genre and Gameplay
Released on March 6, 2018, Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition is a version specifically developed for PC Final Fantasy XV: Royal Edition, allowing Square Enix to avoid most of the issues associated with console ports.
The Windows Edition includes all content from the "Royal Edition": story expansions featuring Gladiolus, Prompto, and Ignis (the main character Noctis's companions), cooperative multiplayer for four players Comrades , and all features of the original Final Fantasy XV. However, this edition is not complete, as the developers released new expansions as part of the second season pass in 2019.
Features of the PC Version of Final Fantasy XV
The main achievement of the former console exclusive is the thoroughly redesigned controls for keyboard and mouse. This makes it easy to get accustomed to them in just a few minutes, and a joystick is not required for confident gameplay.
The PC version of Final Fantasy XV was released on Steam and Windows 10, which means the multiplayer is split into two parts. Steam version buyers can only play among themselves, while Windows Store buyers can play both with each other and in cross-platform multiplayer with players of the Royal Edition and the Comrades expansion on Xbox One.
Steam version owners can download user-created modifications or create their own using a special program. In addition to various outfits and erotic mods, the Steam Workshop features Gordon Freeman's suit from Half-Life, as well as new weapons, vehicles, and much more.
Graphics Quality
Square Enix has worked hard on visual quality and made numerous primary and additional graphics settings for the PC version of Final Fantasy XV, allowing everyone to find their preferred option. At settings above "medium," the difference between the PC version and Xbox One or PS4 is noticeable to the naked eye, in favor of the former.
The game features high-resolution textures, an improved lighting system with VXAO, advanced light and shadow play (ShadowLibs), many models have been refined, and character hairstyles look more natural thanks to Nvidia HairWorks. TurfEffects technology is used for grass simulation. The initial size of the game is 85 gigabytes, with an additional 60 required for the HD texture pack (installed separately), totaling 145 gigabytes.
There is also support for numerous resolution options (up to 4K) and multi-monitor configurations. Thanks to excellent optimization, the Windows Edition shows stable FPS on most current computers. To increase frame rates, you can disable Nvidia's proprietary settings.

Reviews and ratings
The game is very good, even though this is my first part of the series, I have heard a lot about it. I played through the entire game with the additions and was indescribably delighted with it. The graphics are great, of course I can’t really appreciate the plot, you still need to know the features of this series of games, I also really liked the music. I recommend everyone to play it, and I’ll also wait for the continuation, but for now I’ll go through the previous parts
. I'll probably become a fan of hers. I was very pleased that the game has good Russian voice acting. My rating is 9 out of 10.
Игра очень зашла, хоть это моя первая часть серии, но был наслышан о ней. Прошёл всю игру с дополнениями, остался в неописуемом восторге от нее. Графика великолепна, сюжет конечно не могу оценить особо, надо все-таки знать особенности этой серии игр, музыкальное сопровождение также очень понравилось. Рекомендую всем в нее поиграть, ну и также буду ждать продолжения, а пока пройду предыдущие части
. Наверное, стану ее поклонником. Очень порадовало, что в игре присутствует неплохая русская озвучка. Моя оценка 9 из 10.
Best part of FF. Everything about the game is great, but I would especially like to highlight the plot and graphics. They are here on a cosmic level
Лучшая часть FF. В игре прекрасно всё, но особенно хотелось бы выделить сюжет и графика. Они здесь на космическом уровне
