FF7 Remake Free on PS Plus in March

FF7 Remake PS Plus

After February 2021’s lineup of Control: Ultimate Edition, Destruction All-Stars and Concrete Genie, Sony have announced that Remnant: From The Ashes, FF7 Remake, Maquette, and Farpoint are the picks for free PS Plus games in March.

This news followed up on the State of Play showcase, which was headlined by the reveal of Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Intergrade, an upgraded edition of FF7R for the PS5 with better graphics and performance improvements.

Along with Intergrade, Sony also showed a preview of the upcoming PS5 exclusive Yuffie Kisaragi Episode which will be available as separate purchasable DLC content.

It was also announced that current owners of FF7 Remake on PS4 will get a free upgrade to Intergrade for the PS5. Anyone who purchased a copy of the game (physical or digital) will be eligible for the free upgrade.

With FF7 Remake slated for next month’s free PS Plus lineup, one might be tricked into thinking they could simply claim the game and receive the Intergrade PS5 upgrade for free. BUT there’s a catch in the fine print.

“PlayStation Plus members who who redeemed Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4 Version) as a PS Plus benefit are not eligible for a free PS5 Upgrade.”

Any PS Plus member who acquires Final Fantasy 7 Remake through the PS Plus benefits (for free) will not be eligible for a free upgrade. This means that Square Enix might offer an upgrade for an additional charge closer to the release of Intergrade, and people who claimed the game for free will have to purchase it.

While this move does make sense, it is unorthodox and is sure to disappoint a fair amount of hopeful fans. In addition to all these announcements, two Final Fantasy 7-centric mobile games were also announced.
