Final Fantasy XV is represented in a concert setlist and is not part of the June 2026 PS Plus Game Catalog.
Two recent Yomimono stories touch on Final Fantasy XV in different contexts. The first story, from July 2026, covers composer Yoko Shimomura's 39th anniversary orchestra concert, scheduled for September 25, 2026, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre Concert Hall. The announced setlist includes "Stand Your Ground" from Final Fantasy XV, confirming the game's music remains part of Shimomura's public repertoire nearly a decade after the game's original release. The concert, titled "39! ~Thank You!~," features the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Arnie Roth and includes pieces from several other games Shimomura has worked on, such as Legend of Mana, Xenoblade, Super Mario RPG, Kingdom Hearts, Live A Live, and Napping Princess.
The second story, from June 2026, details the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog additions for that month. The lineup includes Final Fantasy XVI, Sonic x Shadow Generations, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, Farming Simulator 25, Blades of Fire, and Black Desert: Standard Edition, along with the PS2 classic Gitaroo Man for Premium subscribers. Final Fantasy XV is not among the titles listed. The two stories do not connect to each other; they simply both mention Final Fantasy XV in separate, unrelated contexts. No new information about the game's development, sales, or future releases is provided in either story.
