Sony has sold more than 100 million PlayStation 4 consoles, but only a fraction of them have picked up certain notable, beloved hits like Final Fantasy VII Remake. But now Sony and Square Enix are working to ensure players have reasons to return to the game on PlayStation 5 with the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade update launching on June 10th.
As part of the PlayStation State of Play video event today, Sony has revealed that Final Fantasy VII Remake owners will receive the upgrade for free.
Square Enix has already revealed that Final Fantasy XVI is coming exclusively to PlayStation 5, and the publisher also has Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 in the works. The companies probably expect this move to increase the appeal of the upcoming Final Fantasy games to the 5 million people who turned up for Final Fantasy VII Remake.
What’s New with Final Fantasy VII Remake on PS5
During Sony PlayStation’s State of Play event today, Square Enix unveiled a “major update” for Final Fantasy VII Remake. This includes new content and characters like Yuffie. A new trailer showed Yuffie’s strong fighting style and interactions with other characters. Yuffie gets her own episode within the game.
Sony also showed enhanced footage for the PS5 version, with higher resolution and enhanced effects and textures. The trailer also showed better fog, lighting and more.
Final Fantasy VII Remake also gets new quality of life features like faster loading, new frame options and classic difficulty settings.
Correction: An earlier version of this story refers to Final Fantasy VII Remake on PS Plus. This was done incorrectly and the references were removed.
