Final Fantasy XV's Holiday Pack DLC lands on December 22

Final Fantasy XV players are about to get their first taste of DLC for the game, Square Enix has announced. Launching on December 22 for both Xbox One and PS4, the Holiday Pack DLC will have new content for everyone to check out for free. A premium version of the Holiday Pack, simply called Holiday Pack + (Plus), will also land for season pass holders with exclusive in-game items.

On top of all of the Holiday Pack DLC, December 22 will also see the release of a free update for the game that includes a New Game+ mode, which allows players that have completed the game once to start a new game with everything from their previous save. The update also adds photo frames that you can add to Prompto's pictures before sharing them. Of course, this is just a taste of what's to come for Final Fantasy XV, as Square Enix has plenty of free updates and DLC in the pipeline already.
