Final Fantasy XVIis finally available on PC, and it’s the latest entry in the Final Fantasy series to make its way to the platform. The PC version is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are plenty of settings to tweak and support for modern upscalers like DLSS.

Thankfully, Lyall from the widescreen community has released a patch to add ultrawide support to Final Fantasy XVI, and here is how you may install it.
