A benchmark tool will be available on Feb. 1 which will score your computer’s performance index for Final Fantasy 15 Windows Edition , making it easy to tell whether or not your machine’s got the firepower it needs to explore Eos.

There’s also special bonus content available for pre-orders, specific to which store you order from: STEAM, Origin or Windows 10. The pre-order and early purchase bonuses are available starting Feb. 1.

“By pre-ordering through the Windows Store, fans will receive the bonus ‘FFXV Powerup Pack.’ This pack contains items designed to power up the player’s performance in combat. By pre-ordering through STEAM, fans will receive the bonus ‘FFXV Fashion Collection.’ This pack contains a selection of outfits for the prince and his pals.

Further details are available here.

The physical version disk (Steam) does not come with a pre-order bonus (though it does come with the early purchase bonus). It is an installer only and requires both an Internet connection as well as a Steam account registration.

REVIEW SUMMARY
Final Fantasy XV
8.5
Combat, Plot, Characters Create Something Flawed, Beautiful, Fantastic
Despite it's flaws, Final Fantasy XV is a milestone achievement: not just for being completed, but for being completed with polish, aplomb and love.
  • Engaging main cast of characters
  • Fun, fast-paced combat
  • A massive, beautiful world to explore
  • The Regalia!
  • Continuous updates have addressed some shortcomings of the initial release
  • Major aspects of the story feel rushed or absent, particularly toward the end of the game
  • Stealth sequences feel out of place
