PlayStation Plus members who redeemed the PS4 version of Final Fantasy VII Remake were originally not eligible to upgrade to the PS5 version of the game. However, Square Enix announced this has changed and the upgrade will be available starting this Wednesday, December 22.
The Episode Intermission DLC featuring Yuffie will be available for a 25 percent discount for a limited time.
Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade released for PC via Epic Games Store last week on December 16. A new datamine by Twitter user @AtelierTool reveals the game will most likely be coming to Steam once the Epic Games exclusive contract ends. The game itself has a Steam AppID that was created six months after the release of the PS4 version in October 2020.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade first released for the PlayStation 5 on June 10, while the original Final Fantasy VII Remake released for the PlayStation 4 in April 2020.

I don't know whose idea this was, but thank you! I guess good things do come to those who wait. Well my backlog is the real reason. Still though.... :-D
It was already nice enough that they gave the PS4 version away for free, but this is just being very generous. Thanks Square!
Sony’s the one that pays for PS Plus giveaways. This is very clearly to demonstrate the value of their ecosystem, like you can wait for a game to come to another platform but by then it’s practically free on PlayStation.
Meh, I already bought the upgrade (and I am a Play Station Plus subscriber)... :(
I need to learn to be more patient hehe, this would actually have been a good timing for me, cause I bought it but still did not take the time to play it. Oh well...
Looks like Square smartened up a bit ?
For any who haven't already had a chance to check out FF7 remake trust me, you won't be disappointed.
FF7 remake was my own personal GOTY when it dropped and for good measure. It and RE2 remake should be the template for how to remake classic gaming hits in the modern day.
-FREE PS5 UPGRADE NINJA APPROVED-
More likely that Sony did a deal to make it happen than Square smartening up.
Something I never expected from SE but even Sony is charging for upgrades.
How things changed.
Cool. Now it joins the list of games I'm willing to play. Very low on that list but it's at least there.
Good, won't need to buy it again
PS plus so its not like you bought in the first place not directly anyway.
I had bought the disc before (actually I was a stop point for it) and then sold to a friend after I finished the game, so without this I would need to buy it to get the upgrade instead of upgrading the PS+ version.
your situation is unusual
certainly is. I also had to buy the HZD complete edition physical to test if the problem was only the digital version gave on PS+ (my saving from the regular HZD wasnt recognized, Guerilla done a poor job making different skus and not compatible), which didnt work so I gone and bought the DLC for the original and it worked.
