Final Fantasy VII: Remake becomes free on PS5 for PS Plus members after all

It took nine months, but we can't complain.
Eirik Hyldbakk Furu Editor-in-Chief Norway 20 December 2021

Sony was very kind to those of us who are PlayStation Plus subscribers when we got both Final Fantasy VII: Remake, Remnant: From the Ashes, Maquette and Farpoint for "free" back in March, but the company also got a lot of flak for not including FFVII: Remake's PS5 upgrade. Fortunately, both Sony and Square Enix are in a far more giving mood this holiday.

Because the Japanese giants have announced that those who added Final Fantasy VII: Remake as part of the PlayStation Plus line-up in March will get the PlayStation 5 version for free starting this Wednesday. That's not all either, as the Episode Intermission expansion will be 25% off for a limited time from then as well.
