Final Fantasy XV is the latest RPG from Square Enix. It is the 15th installment in the long running Final Fantasy series. When the game was originally delayed from its September 30th release date, the game director Hajime Tabata stressed that they wanted to make sure the final retail version was feature complete without the day one patch.

Now that there are reports out there about the game getting its street date broken in Peru, information about its day one patch has surfaced. According to the screenshot shared by the Twitter user LordKelsen, the game has a day one patch of 7.2 GB.

Meanwhile those who have pre-ordered the digital version of the game on Xbox Live can now pre-load the game, and they will have to download a hefty 50 GB of data, which supposedly also includes the day 1 patch of the game. The screenshot below was shared by Twitter user Santa Robey.

Final Fantasy XV will be officially released on November 29th for the PS4 and Xbox One. It was originally set to launch on September 30th but it was delayed for two months to November 29th for further polish. The day one patch will reportedly fix the camera issues that were seen in the recently released demo as well as the preview copies sent to the press.

The "day one patch", dubbed "Crown Update", improves the game's camera so it is easier to track action that transpires in narrow areas. An Ascension tree was implemented for Wait Mode, and the player can now use a "Monster Whistle" to summon enemies. A few sequences across the game were reworked to look more cinematic and scenes from Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV and Omen were added, as were galleries for obtained fish and recipes. Players could also upload the photos Prompto takes to Facebook and Twitter.[1]

The 1.03 patch was released on December 21, 2016. It adds a New Game Plus option and frames for the photos Prompto takes. Several bugs have been fixed, as have problems some players experienced with the game's display area. This patch enables content from the Holiday Pack to be used, and makes upgradable weapons sellable (although it is not recommended to do so; the player always gets a new Engine Blade from the New Game Plus, however). A warp decoy effect is also added to the Auto-changer accessory. There were originally no flashbacks depicting Jared Hester during the scene where the group discusses his fate; these were added in patch 1.03, presumably because players had complained they did not remember this person.

On January 24, 2017, the 1.04 patch added the Moogle Chocobo Carnival and photo mode so the player can manually take photos. The carnival ended on February 20 with the 1.05 patch, which also added selectable resolution options for PlayStation 4 Pro users, new limited-time quests and contests, increased the level cap from 99 to 120, enables players to store up to 200 photos from the original 150, lets the player listen to the in-game music player while riding a chocobo, and adds two tracks from the NieR series to the player. When first released, enemies defeated by summoning only yielded EXP to Noctis. After the 1.05 patch, every party member that has not fallen will gain the EXP as well.

On March 27, 2017, Square Enix released the 1.06 patch for the game. The patch adds a new playable segment in Chapter 13 named Verse 2: For King and Comrade, in which the player takes control of Gladiolus as he explores Zegnautus Keep with Ignis. The segment can be accessed through a choice at the start of Chapter 13, or from the Special section of the main menu if the player has already completed the game. Additional changes were made to Noctis's segment of Chapter 13, such as tweaks to the Ring of the Lucii and more cutscenes featuring Emperor Aldercapt and Ravus Nox Fleuret. The patch dramatically improved the instant death rate, removed most enemy immunities to Death, and made Death deal damage. The patch also removes some of the world's invisible walls allowing the player to explore more freely and collect newly-placed items that can be found atop previously inaccessible structures, such as the stone arches in Duscae. Additionally, winning snapshots from Square Enix's photo contest have been added to the screens in Takka's Pit Stop at the Hammerhead, and the timed quest feature was temporarily suspended. "Noctis's Photos" and "Prompto's Photos" are also renamed "Manual snaps" and "Auto snaps" in the menu.

On April 27, 2017, the 1.09 patch released. It adds options to change font sizes to enhance readability and also a new optional mode for PlayStation 4 Pro users that stabilizes the game's frame rate. New content was added for the Final Fantasy XV collaboration with Terra Battle, including decals for the Regalia and songs for the music player. Timed Quests return with the addition of leaderboards and a new currency called Quest Points, which players can earn by completing the quests and then spend on various rewards. The first new Timed Quest is a collaboration with the musician Afrojack, so it also adds some of his music to the game as well as a special weapon called the Afrosword.

On May 24, 2017, the 1.10 patch released. It adds a new food item and a survey on the main menu that players can complete to tell Square Enix what future content they would like to see in the game. Options include story content about Ardyn's past, Aranea Highwind as a playable character, and harder difficulty modes.

On June 26, 2017, patches 1.11 and 1.12 were released. It implements the Regalia Type-D customization option, which can be installed at Hammerhead and allows the vehicle to drive off-road. It also adds compatibility for the Episode Prompto DLC pack and adds its songs "Home Sweet Home", "Orbital Instability", and "Trigger" to the main game's music player.

On July 31, 2017, patch 1.13 was released. It adds a new hunt for Melusine, which is available after chapter 8 at the Meldacio Hunter HQ. A new trophy, "Love Turned Tragic", can be earned for completing the quest. Cross chains, originally seen in Episode Duscae, have been implemented into the game and a tutorial for them appears during the Melusine hunt. The player can earn the "Seize the Moment" trophy for performing 10 full-hit cross chains. The Magitek Exosuit attire was also added. It was originally planned to be a part of the Booster Pack+ DLC, but was delayed and distributed for free instead.

On August 30, 2017, patches 1.14 and 1.15 were released. The patches add a bestiary, which shows enemy stats, item drop information, and new lore. The bestiary already contains entries for enemies the player has fought prior to the update. It also adds a chapter select feature, which becomes available after the game has been completed, and the Assassin's Festival event, which ran between August 31, 2017 and January 31, 2018.

On September 29, 2017, patch 1.16 was released. It adds new story scenes to Chapter 12 which expand on the lore surrounding the Astrals and the War of the Astrals. Additionally, two new fish were added to the archive, and the second run of the Moogle Chocobo Carnival event was concluded. Adding of the new fish was a mistake however, and they could not be caught.[3] Previously powerful combination of using the Bow of the Clever with Ignis's Overwhelm Technique was made significantly slower.

On November 6, 2017, patches 1.17 and 1.18 were released for the Xbox One and then on November 10 for the PlayStation 4. The patches add an option to accept up to ten hunts at once and compatibility for the Final Fantasy XV: Comrades DLC. The two fish that were mistakenly added in patch 1.16 were removed. Enhanced 4K visuals were also added for Xbox One X users.

On December 11, 2017, patches 1.19 and 1.20 were released. It implements character switching, allowing players to take control of party members other than Noctis. Additionally, it includes compatibility for the Episode Ignis DLC and adds tracks from it and Comrades to the main game's music player. The online leaderboards for Timed Quests were also concluded with this patch.

On February 1, 2018, patch 1.21 was released; it concludes the Assassin's Festival, and adds Aranea as a training partner at camp, as well as an option to advance the time of day and fast-forwarding the time of day no longer counts towards the time limit of food buffs. The patch also adds new drills for the Tutorial, new items to Alessio's trading post in Altissia, and an "Arts" category for Gladiolus, Ignis and Prompto (applies to character swap). The hairstyle for Ignis's DLC outfit from Episode Ignis has also been fixed.

Released September 24th, 2018, patch 1.26 adds a new quest from chapter 5 onwards as a collaboration with Terra Wars, a mobile game by Hironobu Sakaguchi's studio, Mistwalker. The reward for the quest is Sarah's Shortsword. Info menu is added to the title screen to view patch notes in-game. The patch also adds more music to the in-game music player from Terra Battle, Tomb Raider, and DJ NOBUNAGA.

Patch 1.27 was released December 13th, 2018. It adds the Adventurer from Another World collaboration quest with Final Fantasy XIV, which also adds new attires and weapons. The Russian voice pack is added as a free download.

Released June 24th, 2020, patch 1.30 removes the FFXV INFORMATION option from the title screen, as well as the Avatara System. For Comrades, Cross-Play functionality between Steam and Origin users is removed, the Solheim and Eos servers are merged into the Accordo server, and online functionality for Origin is removed (offline functionality remains).

Like every patch maintenance, the lobby server will likely be taken offline as usual. Even assuming you get the patch downloaded and applied mid-maintenance, your authorization will almost assuredly be expired before things are back up. 2ff7e9595c
