https://x.com/finalfantasyxvi/status/1837082486465253541">addressed[/url] the update on X (Twitter). “In response to the crashes and graphical bugs that were occurring on the PlayStation5 version of
Final Fantasy XVI, [Sony Interactive Entertainment] have released a new system update,” the account posted. “Please try downloading and installing this update.”</p>
<p>Before today’s alleged fix, users reported that last week’s PS5 system update (24.06-10.00.00) triggered
Final Fantasy XVI crashes while loading saves or fast-traveling. It could also add annoying black squares obstructing the in-game camera.</p>

No Man’s Sky. It isn’t yet clear if the update fixes those games’ glitches.</p>

Final Fantasy XVI. “Played for an hour post update with no issues,” u/AdSweaty411 wrote. “Yup no issues so far,” Redditor u/Icy-Confection-312 added. (We’ll update this story if any additional bug reports arise.)</p>
<p>You can update your PS5 by heading to <strong>Settings > System</strong>, then <strong>System Software > System Software Update and Settings</strong>. After the update appears, choose <strong>Update System Software</strong>.
