PS+ March Games - Final Fantasy VII: Remake, Farpoint (VR), & Remnant from the Ashes for PS4, Maquette for PS5 [No PS5 upgrade for FF7]
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Doesn't work if you have a Digital console. Just a dumb way to throw away money - you announce an update and paid DLC tied to PS5, then increase the addressable market by giving the PS4 game away to the entire PS+ community. But then make that group unaddressable for no obvious reason. You've had your primary sales from the game for a year. You aren't losing money by letting them have the upgrade for free. Heck, charge $10 like Activision. Also means all those PS+ users will never buy that DLC
Giving away FFVIIR and then the free PS5 upgrade would have been above and beyond, a super flex. These two things are still generous on their own though and I don't have to feel bad about buying it in the January sale.
Goes without saying, but just for visibility:
PSA: As it stands currently people who want to get FF7R digital should consider NOT to download the Plus version, but wait for the next sale for the PS4 version. If they intend to upgrade that version to PS5. If you claim it with PS+ you will not be able to buy the digital PS4 version (eligible for PS5 Upgrade) again.

they changed that, you can purchase games you get for free on ps+
Well I would have played ff7 with this version once it got updated for ps5, no ps5 upgrade is hillarious
I'm guessing the PS4 doesn't have a 60fps mode in back compat?

Maybe you can upgrade for like 10 bucks? It's not perfect, but still "ok" considering you get the main game for free? (I understand the frustration in parts, though I own the PS4 version).
Remnant is nice, most people really like it, Farpoint is one of the VR games out there, especially with the VR Aim Controller, lot's of fun and a great experience (if you don't mind spider like creatues jumping in your face ^^).

Yes. Dead by Daylight PS5 SKU was free for everyone (Or like 50 cent in germany cause lolageratinglaws) who claimed the PS Plus version back then.
If you don't own FF7R already, the cheapest way to get PS5 upgrade and Yuffie DLC is buy FF7R (physical) for PS4 ($30) and DLC for $10-15
The only other way is to outright buy the PS5 version $69.
The Ps+ free game is a huge benefit but I can see a ton of people getting confused and upset when in June they can't simply upgrade their Ps+ version to the new PS5 update or get the DLC.

But was that a new game or was it just the same game but a PS5 version? FF7R Intergrade is listed as a separate game on PSN.
To be clear here, I am not saying that this definitely isn't Square being super shitty. Just saying that we haven't seen this exact scenario so there might be more at play than we think.
Just looked at a few games I got via Plus - no option to buy them.
that ff7 remake thing is wild, both for actually being a ps plus freebie not even a year since its release despite being a massive success and for denying those who redeem it the free ps5 upgrade
remnant is a great game that anybody into third-person shooters should definitely try out. i played through the whole thing not too long ago on pc, and might just play it again on console with a friend who only has a ps4.

Do you not realize there is already a free upgrade for FF7 for regular owners from PS4 to PS5? There is no technical issue outside the one they made themselves
Yes but the people who own FF7R own it and always will so they can get the upgrade for free
The people who get it on PS+ won't always own the game, as the whole point of PS+ is you only have things when you are subscribed
Another great month, though I'll pass on FF7 Remake because I'll buy the PS5 version when it drops in June, I had already decided that yesterday and, honestly, there are still lots of PS4 only owners who'll benefit from getting one of the best games from last year for free. Getting the upgrade with Plus would've been nice, but I'm not gonna complain tbh, it's still a great deal.
It was a brand new SKU. New PSN store entry and everything that you had to claim again.
It's 60 on PSN. Of course you can get it cheaper if you buy it physical, like all things lol
Wrong, underlined in the quote below. Also they changed how they handle this since last year in general.
It's listed as one product here but maybe you're right!
Dead by Daylight PS4® & PS5®
This product entitles you to download both the digital PS4® version and the digital PS5® version of this game. Ever wished to play as one of the characters from your favorite horror movies Dead by Daylight is a 1v4 multiplayer game that draws from all corners of the horror world from a powerful...

I changed my initial post to reflect I meant the PS4 digital version (eligible for upgrade). I know I can buy the new PS5 version.
And (at least on my end) I can't buy games I already claimed, just looked 3 former Plus games up off the top of my head (Control Ultimate, Ratchet & Clank, Hollow Knight).
I guess a black hole will open up and swallow all of existence if they deactivated the PS5 upgrade when you unsubbed
Even if you would take FFVII out of the list, it's still a great month.
Laughable...
Not sure why that should matter?
I remember them giving people GOW collection on Vita years after they gave the games on PS3.
They did it before and they can do it again.
I'm pretty sure PS4 version and PS4+ version are going to be different SKU's in the store, we'll know soon enough.
It's been a while since I haven't heard of a PS+ game and we have two of them. Looking forward to go into both Remnant and Marquette blind.
Does this mean though that if you get the ps plus version you can't just later grab the ps4 version on sale and get the free upgrade? ie you know have to buy the new ps5 version?
Doesn't affect me as I already own FF7 but it's just confusingly worded
Lots of SE games have been up for grabs via PS+ over the years but I think this is the first time ever a FF game has been given away, so that's huge. Remnant is my GOTY from 2019. Highly recommend. It's a great month if you already don't own either game.
