There are usually some leaks that one doesn’t imagine finding. Something like this happened with Final Fantasy 16, a game fans blamed for Square Enix’s losses. Allegedly, a Redditor found something in NVIDIA‘s latest game-ready driver.

A user shared the release notes for the latest display drivers for the company’s GPUs on the NVIDIA subreddit. Officially, they didn’t have anything out of the blue. However, a Redditor shared proof that the driver had game-ready profiles for Square Enix‘s Action RPG title.
