On December 22, Square Enix will release a new Final Fantasy XV update on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that adds a New Game+ feature, “allowing those who have completed the game’s main line story to start a new game with all previous gameplay data intact.” Additionally, next week’s update will include a new photo frame feature where you can choose from a variety of themed photo frames that can be applied to and accessorized with Prompto’s photographs.
There’s also going to be two versions of the Holiday Pack DLC available on December 22 – one free and one paid. Here’s what to expect from each:
Holiday Pack (Free)
- Warrior’s Fanfare – A scroll of sheet music containing a song of jubilation that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Offense outside of training.

- Carnival Passport – An adorably adorned ticket that whisks the bearer away to a fun-filled carnival for a limited time.

The Holiday Pack + DLC will be available for free to all Season Pass owners. Square Enix hasn’t said how much it will cost on its own. “Players who have the Season Pass or the Digital Premium Edition should also download the Holiday Pack (Free Version) as the items will not be automatically downloaded,” they add.
In the Season Pass section of the Final Fantasy XV website, Square Enix says it includes access to these seven DLC packs: Holiday Pack +, Booster Pack +, Episode Gladiolus, Episode Ignis, Episode Prompto, Multiplayer Expansion: Comrades, and Gourmand Set.
Just like the Holiday Pack, the upcoming Booster Pack will be available in both free and paid versions, with each version offering up different items.
