Square Enix is gearing up for the much anticipated worldwide release of "Final Fantasy XV," featuring a lot of exciting contents aiming to maintain the hit game franchise's success. It is also expected to introduce new and exciting game aspects to get more nonplayers hooked up in the franchise, as well as to recapture the interest of the long-time fans of the "Final Fantasy" game series. As "Final Fantasy XV" will hit the digital markets on Sept. 30 this year, many tech enthusiasts wonder if the game will also be playable in the upcoming home consoles that are also releasing this 2016 and early next year.

According to a report from Yibada, there is a good possibility that "Final Fantasy XV" will be ported to the new PlayStation and Xbox home consoles. Specifically, both Sony and Microsoft are gearing up for the release of their new projects, the PlayStation Neo and Xbox Scorpio, respectively. While both electronic gaming companies have not disclosed the exact release date of the new consoles, it is highly speculated that they will arrive sometime this year, or possibly in the early months of 2017. With the release of "Final Fantasy XV" and the new consoles seem to almost coincide, the players are expecting that the latest "Final Fantasy" installment will be compatible with the new devices.

"Final Fantasy XV" game director Hajime Tabata himself teased the likelihood of the upcoming game title being ported to Xbox Scorpio ad PS4 Neo, although the Japanese director further went on to say that Square Enix is also thinking about having a PC version of the latest "Final Fantasy" sequel.

"Final Fantasy XV" will arrive on Sept. 30 in PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. So far, the early game demo from Square Enix for the game has been well-received by the gamers. Trusted Reviews even gave favorable feedback and cited that the demo gave the fans what they have always wanted to see in a game like "Final Fantasy," which is a realistic theme with a touch of fantasy.
